Seeing that they have only reduced water usage by 5% instead of 20% as planned shows that people aren't doing much to try and conserve water. It would be better if people learned to use less water when brushing their teeth, showering, etc. instead of just saying they will reduce the usage.

These farmers make money by selling produce and having less of it could destroy their business. Not only that, there would be less fresh fruits and vegetables for us to buy.
