Heartily agree. I met an Australian who was very weirded out about how California talks about how we're always in drought but we have toilets with tons of water in them. In Australia apparently they have super low water toilets and this person was very surprised how much water was being wasted on that alone.

Not to mention the green lawns as you mentioned, swimming pools, and tons of wasted water I see from some folks yards that don't have grass either. Mandate drip systems for lawn use or gray water landscape gardening
