Comment on I don't have AC but my apartment lease covers unlimited water usage and the water is very cold. How can I best use this to cool my home?

  Youre not necessarily wasting any water. Any water that goes down the drain just gets filtered and recirculated. Even if it wasn’t filtered and made it directly to the river, evaporation would still ensure it returns to the cycle.

  Not as far as the efficiency of filtering water vs an AC… well. You’ll need someone significantly smarter than I to tell you that

    The wasting of water refers to water that is available for use by people. Water that’s been treated and is ready to go.

    By your definition “wasting water” is impossible, since it all stays on Earth and will get filtered eventually.e

      That was what I was going for :p. Had hoped an engineer might come in and tell us the efficiency of either or both.

    So no. If portions of region A are below region B, then region A is not above region B.
