Whenever you let water run, you make your home part of the greater water system, which eventually starts with springs and ends in an ocean. You have a tiny side arm of a river in your sink!

    True, but the tap is usually connected to a sink and wastewater systems are usually connected to a river.

    Probably not, what OP was thinking, but if you think about it that way, it’s even more fitting. Tiny sidearms of rivers usually flow together to form the larger river. Plus, the water in many sewers doesn’t even get pumped and simply flows by gravitational force, much like a river.
