Really? Interesting... I hadn't heard about that.

That's exactly right.

True - a 15 minute shower could be reduced to 5 minutes for sure.
When it comes to watering lawns though, this reminds me of a much bigger problem. Without water, a lot of the green parts of California will die off. Those dead plants that used to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere will no longer be able to do it. Even worse, those now-brown areas will catch fire sooner or later and release CO2 and soot into the atmosphere, making a bad problem even worse.
Fuck you big oil.
