When we use water, we often use too much. We waste it. When washing cars, showering, brushing our teeth etc. Because of wastefulness, there are places that don't have the luxury of being able to wash their car well, and can't water their lawns for more than a few minutes a day.

I hope I was able to help. Best of luck.

Does the stomach only does chemical digestion to break down food?
bonufazy [111]
In the stomach, food undergoes chemical and mechanical digestion. Peristaltic contractions (mechanical digestion) churn the bolus, which mixes with strong digestive juices that the stomach lining cells secrete (chemical digestion). As food travels from your mouth into your digestive system, it's broken down by digestive enzymes that turn it into smaller nutrients that your body can easily absorb. This breakdown is known as chemical digestion.
