Bill Gates' Mega-Mansion-Spitznemed Xanadu 2.0-is at an alarming speed, as reported by luxury launches.
One of the largest houses in the world, it should be noted that it is equipped with some environmentally friendly functions. It is earthy or built into the environment, which regulates the temperature with less energy. High trees were planted everywhere in the premises that protect against heat loss.
Despite the express request of the gates to prioritize the health of the environment, this seems to have been overlooked when designing water -consuming characteristics of the house.
According to La Times, the 130 million US dollar in Washington's estate consumes 4.7 million gallons water annually. This corresponds to the water consumption of 60 average houses in Seattle per year. Gates is the best water consumer in residential areas, and its water bill is approximately $ 25,000 a year for its 66,000 square meter house, which consists of several separate buildings.
The water features include an artificial stream that is filled with salmon and trout. The artificial electricity has a constructed system that recirculates the water and imitates a natural Pacific northwest current. There is also a 60-foot swimming pool, which is housed in a separate building of 3,900 square meters. It has an underwater music system and a transparent wall with which swimmers can see under the showered swimmer. The main house has 24 bathrooms, including 10 bathtubs.
These characteristics, together with the huge landscape that surrounds the residence that needs a lot of water, to preserve almost five million gallons water per year. This amount of water would fill seven Olympic swimming pools and is what an average American family of four years used in 40 years.

Since water is a limited resource, it is important to get it. Due to the increase in drought conditions all over the world, environmentalists agree that water management is the key to a more sustainable future. In preparation for a hot, drier future, California has even implemented permanent water restrictions.
The level of water consumption on the Gates Estate could be considered excessively and seems to be in contradiction to the public attitude of Gates as an environmentalist.
