This is how you can know for a fact that the Left is completely disconnected from reality:
All water on the planet is recycled. Every drop. You cannot "save" or "waste" water. You can only suck at water logistics.
Nations with "water shortage" simply suck at water logistics. They fail at cleaning their water and ensuring they circulate enough of it.
Norway, like other White nations, does not suck at water logistics. Using less water only puts more strain on water treatment plants and risks clogging. Because the same amount of dirt is generated, but dissolved in less water, and therefore more difficult to filter and process.

The real ecologists, like the sanctimonious Left, would say that water should be conserved. As population expands, more water is tied up in human bodies and used in agriculture and so on, which demands more water supply, all of which uses more and more energy. And I’m doubtful about any negative effect of using less water on the treatment facilities. I mean, their filters are going to collect the same material either way.

Sure, modern wastewater treatment facilities can cope with it very well, especially in areas that expect dry periods, since they are designed for it. But it does have an effect, and is a thing that must be anticipated, designed for, and dealt with to avoid problems.
And I'm perfectly happy to agree that dealing with less volume, of course, requires less energy. To illustrate by extremes: If there were only 100 humans on the planet, we wouldn't need wastewater treatment plants at all, and therefore require no energy. Conversely, if there were 100 billion humans on the planet, we would require a tremendous amount of energy to provide them with water and deal with the waste.
But the shortage, then, is still not water. The shortage is energy and infrastructure required to circulate and clean enough water to accommodate X number of humans. There's plenty of water on the planet. Keeping water available and usable is the challenge.
I believe I had all of that covered under "water logistics".
Long term solutions, if you are running into water logistics problems, then, must be one, or both, of two things:
Rationing water use, to the point of regulating how humans go about urinating, is not a solution at all. It's just giving up on civilization, succumbing to the problem, and allowing it to drive you into squalor and deprivation.
Luckily, apart from certain overpopulated desert regions (I'm looking at you, California), we don't really have water logistics problems in Western countries. There are, however, severe water logistics issues, with global impact, in large areas of Asia and Africa.
I would propose a rapid deployment of solution number 2, in those areas. Until water logistics issues subside.

The norwegian government and states tax the citizens very heavily for water usage and maintenance. However none of them actually used that money for maintenance, and all of Norway has a water supply maintenance lack that is in the trillions. Welcome to soviet Norway where taxes dont mattet and refugees get free everything.
The water is literally leaking into the ground, hence the pee in shower caus god forbid they fix the problem.

There's nothing wrong with peeing in the shower. Just don't get it on her and it'll be fine. Lesson learned.

No, instead, stop washing, replace wasteful western toilets with muslim style holes in the ground. Better yet, simply do away with bathrooms and toilets. Do as the Indians do and use the streets. Then rain will flush the streets.

They can’t just jump to that conclusion in one quick leap. They’ll have to get there one step at a time. The first step will be a program to get people to shit in the sink.

Pee in the shower? Guess ive been an environmentalist for quite some time now!
