It seems strange to me that tourists always get blamed for Bali's woes, especially with most of the economy dependent on tourism.

And I have always wondered about this statistic:
Official data reveals a single tourist uses 1,785 litres of water per day compared to the 14 used by a local Balinese. Consumption skyrockets to 4,000 litres a day for hotels.
How can you explain why a tourist uses so much water? Extra long showers? I mean you don't see tourists hosing down the roads/their driveway. If everyone started using rainwater tanks instead of the ground water, that problem could almost be solved overnight.
