Purpose
- Irrigation...Its purpose is for irrigation and also drinking water supply to nearby town of sinnar, Nashik...
gollark: This is also probably wrong. There are perfectly good reasons to spend more than the median family on some category, especially if the categories are particularly granular.
gollark: Oh, and lots of things (particularly computing equipment) are usable for fun *and* work purposes.
gollark: As another example, I spend a nontrivial amount of money on removing small and cheap-to-fix inconveniences from my life (for example, finally getting a mouse as it's nicer than my laptop's trackpad in some ways, getting lots of spare USB cables so I don't have to deal with moving them around, buying pens in boxes of 50-100 so that I can just give them away). Obviously I don't *have* to do that, but I would be inconvenienced and somewhat less productive if I didn't.
gollark: Recreational stuff is somewhat necessary in that you probably need to do fun things to maintain a good mental state, which you need to do things.
gollark: You can't really distinguish them nicely.
