Question

Imagine that the climate in your region became extremely arid, and freshwater became a scarce and precious resource. Wasteful uses of water, such as watering lawns and filling swimming pools, would be strictly outlawed, and water from the municipal water supply would cost 100 times what it does now. Discuss how you would adapt to that situation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer = explanation.

Explanation:

I would try adapting without any problems, since if we suppose that this climate change happened recently, the answer is probably human activity. And, even if I wasn't part of it, there is nothing I can do but tolerate it.

But now, the important part. I would reduce the amount of weekly showers to 1-3 showers a week. I would also buy water only for my consumption, making sure nothing would be wasted. Given that water would be x100 more expensive, I would also buy water-rich fruits and vegetables from the market (and of course, these would have to come from somewhere else, since I would not support illegal watering) such as cucumbers, watermelons, melons, nectarines, etc.
