So we're not eating ethanol.

I, we shouldn't be eating ethanol.

Fuel production landscape.

Yeah.

So that's some of the ag, let's take like lawn irrigation and golf courses.

Okay.

All lawn irrigation in the United States also equates to about 3 trillion a year.

And golf courses, um, use about a half a trillion gallons of water a year.

Um,

You get into individual.

Yeah.

So golf courses, there's a difference between consumptive water use and water that is used but is returned to its sources.

Your fish shack, let's now zoom into a much higher industrial scale, which would be a power plant, is doing something similar to your fish shack.

It is withdrawing a pretty large amount of water from water sources like lakes and rivers.

approximately 90 to 95% of the water gets returned to its source.

Now, not always.

It's counted as usage, but not, but if you really think of consumption, it's not all like, you know, maybe water is considered consumed and this is where you want to go to an expert, but like generally speaking, when it evaporates and it doesn't, it's not directly replenished.
