I get a kick out of people naively thinking that is wasting water. Unless the water is shot up into space, it’s not wasted. The water is simply sprayed into the air and then either is absorbed into the ground or goes into the drainage system. At the end of the day, the same amount of water exists on the planet, it just resides in a slightly different location. Eventually it will evaporate and come down as rain and the cycle will begin once again. If one wants to argue there are too many people on the planet for the amount of water the planet holds, they might have a legitimate argument.
