No, the amount of water conserved through these measures was absolutely meaningless even at scale. You are talking about a fraction of a fraction of a percent of use.

Yeah. Farmers measure water use in acre-feet and assess flows at thousands of gallons per minute range.

The food in your plate consumes far more water than a glass of water. If anything, more water and less food eaten would be a good water conservation measure.
