"In May, the DOE stunned the plumbing-products industry when it said it would adopt a strict definition of the term 'showerhead' in enforcing standards that have been on the books?but largely unenforced?for nearly 20 years."

So much for the dude selling shower heads at up to $5,500 (24" in diameter,
365 nozzles).
2.5 gallons per minute at 80psi, interesting since most water pressure regulators for homes and business are factory adjusted to 50psi which I do believe would deliver a lot less water. I always remove the little restrictor in a new shower head. I even have one I take with me when I travel along with the tools to change the shower head in the motel room.
I have to laugh at these totalitarians. For perspective, a farmer who waits a few more seconds than usual to shut off his irrigation system uses hundreds of thousands of gallons more water doing so. Household use is a drop in the ocean compared to agricultural and industrial use.
We don't run out of water. The hydrological cycle cannot be stopped.
Water, like food, is plentiful. The problem is people keep moving into areas where the LOCAL supply of either is insufficient or not reliably replenished. Here in Great Lakes basin, there is unlikely to ever be a water shortage. In the larger cities of the southwest, with arid near-desert conditions, now that they have used up 10,000 years worth of aquifer, there will ALWAYS be a shortage of water. Look up 'carrying capacity' for a better definition.
