       @davidgerard 30 megalitres a day?  I started shouting WTF at the screen incessantly when I heard that figure (in bushel-inches or whatever in your podcast)

       @davidgerard @Unixbigot @catsalad to put this number in actual perspective:The annual rainfall in Florida is about 56 inches. USGS' calculator only lets you use 50.So less than the annual rainfall in Florida is 46,596,264,000,000 gallons. Google is admitting to using 2,920,000,000 gallons per year before waste and losses.That's over 6% of all annual rainfall. In FLORIDA.That is more than enough to put aquifers into terminal decline.(edit: yush math is wrong, I mathed pre-coffee.)
