A nominal water aerator limits water around 5L-6L/min levels. For every minute I don't use the water, I spend approximately two full kettles of water. With every 5L of water I can - Cook 4 servings (~400 grams) of pasta. - Brew 5L of tea/coffee - Water all the plants at home two times. - Possibly wash most of my handwash-only dishes in one go. - etc. So it's not not meaningfully wasteful . However, I can't turn off t…
Water is by far the most abundant resource on the planet (70+% of earth is water), and we have methods to remove salt and contaminants from almost all of it. We can even turn urine into drinking water. I wouldn’t worry about wasting it. We’ll die from something else long before water becomes an issue.

> Yes, there are a lot of people that use the car when they can not use it, thats still most of the car traffic. so, do you have any data to back up that assertion? (I won't claim that I have any favorable to my argument, just the observation that driving in and Paris around Paris is pretty bad) > For a lot of destination you can take 2-3 differentes routes. most alternative routes usually take longer and end up cong…
The average is still 1.3 person per car, if you get outside a little you will see tons of single person in cars, and not in minitruck like artisans. https://www.paris.fr/pages/le-bilan-des-deplacements-a-paris... Indicate 13% of the traffic is for utilitary vehicule. This number include people taking their utilitary vehicule for personal reason. 50% is for personal vehicules. Also, why were you driving around Paris ?…
Also, according to one of the linked pdf, cars in Paris are barely for Paris-Paris movement, but more for Paris-suburbs, which is still the biggest weakness of the public transportation network.

But I don't see anything in the document that shows that people are using personal vehicles for deplacements they could have easily been made with public transportation. Which was your original point that I disagreeing with: people aren't 'brainwashed by cars', but rather can't practically use another way.

> [...] the easier it is to process the water at your sewage treatment plant, if your waste water is treated. It's easier to process per litre, but it is easier to process in absolute numbers?
Part of processing is often adding clean water; to the extent that you've already done it upstream, the treatment plant can add less.
When they dilute at the treatment plant, they can use somewhat dirtier clean water.

I suspect those numbers are for filling the tub to the brim? Is that normal?
Are you a manager? It seems like you can answer these questions for yourself rather than asking a stranger on the internet. Let us know what you find.

This was a polite way of me telling you that I don't think that's normal, and that quoting the bathtub max capacity is fairly meaningless.
I would have quoted that if it were easy to find, or quantify. It's not. I encourage you to do so, put the work in, and let us know what you find.
Its not that I don't agree with you, it's that I want you to do the work for yourself.
