This is no laughing matter. Some resevoirs are already dry. Lots of ponds are now grassy fields. Some rivers are almost dry. People are hauling water for livestock. Some who take it seriously are not taking baths as often, limting clothes washing and eating on paper plates. We can live without a lot of things, but water is not one of them. There's no food without water. We can't eat lawn grass or shrubs.
A person can take a sponge bath in a gallon of water (or less.) Shampoo is the same. Most cars don't even get dirty. Even a car can be cleaned with a wipedown if necessary. We need to get back to the basics with a clear understanding of what is really necessary.
