YES it's true.
Not sure how you can be serious about that statement Cummins. The comment about population growth and drought (especially in the US Southwest and Colorado river drainage) are spot on.
Or you can bury your head in the sand and not acknowledge the fact of a 20 year drought.
WHY do people never READ what I say??? On edit, Comprehend What I Say???
Water volume on this planer has never changed. Are you disagreeing with me, I don't see you doing so.
So read my words, do you think there is a water shortage in the Coachella Valley, CA?

Try comprehending this. Assuming that the amount of water on the planet never changes, there is a huge difference between 10,000 nomadic peole using water to drink and bathe, and 8 billion mostly stationary people using water for unnatural landscaping (lawns), washing cars, water fountains, water parks, swimming pools, manufacturing, farming. etc, etc, etc. You can't put that much stress on the finite water supply without consequences.

OK, I know a Guy who lives on a hill. For some reason hit Septic is on the high side of the house, while his Well is on the low side. Jokes that he simply recycles his water.
Water isn't being destroyed, it's just recycled. Water soaks into the ground an into the aquafers which we pump out of, but when finished we return it, it doesn't get lost anywhere.

"Water may change phases, but the amount always remains constant. Did you know that the total amount of water on Earth is fixed? The amount of water is neither gained nor lost between the Earth and its atmosphere."

While the amount of water remains constant, only 3% of the water is “freshwater” and suitable for human use. That freshwater does diminish due to pollution and other similar conditions (such as adding it to a black tank). Hence every year more and more people experience “shortages” of water. Water shortage may not effect you, but it is very real, today, to millions of people. Your posts indicate to me an attitude of - as long as I’m not affected, not a problem, use it indiscriminately. Not true I’m sure, but none the less, not a good look.

Are you guys seriously trying to say that RV black tanks have any measurable impacts to water supply and demand and droughts? And further that black tank treatments and chemicals will solve this issue?

Everything has a measurable impact on water supply. Letting the water run while brushing your teeth, using an irrigation system on your lawn that floods the street, and yes, black tank flushing. While each of these has minimal impact, add them all up (plus the hundreds of other ways we waste water) and you make a difference. It's the same principle as backpackers drilling holes in their toothbrush handles. Grams make ounces and ounces make pounds. The attitude of 'if it doesn't make a major difference, it doesn't matter' is self defeating.

Some folks pick odd hills to plant a flag on. I appreciate the concern. I am still not going to use black tank chemicals and as much water is needed. My feeling is that water helps the breakdown process so when it gets to the leech field or treatment plant, less energy and water is required to break things down and remove the very chemicals that were added unnecessarily. Add to that, an RV toilet and subsequent black tank uses considerably less water than a sticks and bricks one. To each his own, I'll pass on the preaching session though. I'm not sold on your logic regarding RV black tank's impacts to droughts. It's probably the opposite by comparison. In any event, this whole debate is really silly.

Maybe you remember this..Back several years the City of Seattle declared a water shortage and people with odd number address watered on odd days and even on even. People abided by these rules. Next thing ya know they had a budget shortfall, raised the water rates and then all of a sudden the shortage was over and they were rolling in the $$$.
Smoke and mirror in so many cases. Water shortage in NW WA, yea right!!! It's all about control.
