Should the government be allowed to restrict how much water we use?

Why It Matters

In times of drought or water scarcity, many states restrict water usage for outdoor uses. Texas, California, Arizona, and Nevada have some of the most stringent restrictions, which means residents in those states could greatly benefit from rain barrels (so long as you check on the rules in those states).

How long do you have to run your faucet before the water gets hot?

Why It Matters

Kitchen faucets typically have a flow rate of around two gallons per minute, so it’s easy to waste a few gallons a day if you have to wait for hot water. That can add up on your water bill, and in areas experiencing drought, that water is especially valuable.
