Well we do pay for water, maybe the saving potential isn't that high but it's there. But the main purpose is to simply save water, perhaps you feel that you have an unlimited supply so you can be wasteful but I can assure you first of all this is not the case and there are many people who do not have such a supply or are looking for ways to reduce waste. Reducing water usage is not a new idea, all shower heads and toilets these days use water saving techniques, this is no different.

Water should not be regarded as an unlimited resource. The continuing growth in global temperatures and population puts a huge strain on all water supply. Even if reservoirs are full it doesn't mean the treatment plants can keep up with the demand and in most places water reservoirs are not full. It's a well known and obvious fact that water conservation practices have already started and need to be continued.
