Yeah, definitely not five gallons of water per almond and ten gallons per avocado or any of the other myriad of unsustainable, out of season, out of climate farming that California does all over the place for the sake of vegetarian whackos.
Drained after each use? What a pleb. My pool is constantly refilled by the tears of a thousand LGBBQTWAT+-/*# orphans whipped to cry in perpetuity. Not only that, but my jacuzzi bubbles are powered by the farts of Lizzo the hutt herself.
Published in the journal Nature Sustainability, a new study found socioeconomic disparity to be just as influential as climate change and population growth when it comes to explaining why the water supply in so many cities is shrinking.
For the purposes of the study, researchers zeroed in on just one location, Cape Town, South Africa.
Even 25 years after South Africa's apartheid ended, Cape Town is still segregated in distinct geographic lines, making it easier to track water usage among income groups, Savelli said. The city also experienced a major drought from 2015 to 2017, a crisis so severe that the city narrowly averted "Day Zero," when it believed water sources would dry up entirely.
Despite only representing about 14% of the population, the wealthiest residents used more than half of the water (51%) consumed by the entire city.
The rich did a thing which benefited them but not the poor! The humanity! How dare they!?
If you are based in Sweden, why not do a study on Swedish water usage, enact local changes, then do a follow up study on how those changes positively or negatively affected water usage, using the whole experience as a test/guide of how water policy changes could work?
No? Muh racism, muh class struggles, muh eat the rich instead? Thanks for nothing NPR! Your state funded media label is well deserved.
Maybe if California focused it's money on desalination plants and the power infrastructure needed for them than paying for blackie because 'their fee fees were hurt', you wouldn't be in this mess
Can't have anything getting in the way of our precious almonds, avocados, or pistachios can we eh, NPR? Perish the thought of not having our avocado toast!

NPR is state media devoid of credibility.
They do say the "study" didn't even look at that, despite industrial use and farming being the majority of water used.
The "study" is trash, and NPR is trash for supporting the "study"
60 million illegals are driving water shortages. You cannot keep stuffing more people into a region and expect to magically get water.
Civil war 2 will start when Georgia invades Tennessee to drain the Tennessee river into Atlanta to slake the thirst of their unending orc hordes.
Pool owner here... That's not how pools work. You fill it once, and then clean and treat it for long periods of time.
Ah, you have one of those poor pools where you reuse the water.
My pool's water is drained after each use and refilled from 1l bottles of only the finest Trump water.

facts, reason, and evidence do not work on these people
😂
Damn, 13/50 holds true anyway
Almost everything you can imagine has a pareto distribution.
Pool's Closed
Is this a Habbo Hotel reference? My gosh, it's been so long, you cheeky devil.

PRIVATE pools!?!?!?

For some reason I find it unlikely that pools and yards of an incredibly small segment is the cause of water shortages.
