Not one drop (of water) falls by the wayside.

I'm so thrifty that not one drop (of water) falls by the wayside.

HI,
Is the above idiomatic? Is "of water" optional? Thanks.

Hi, No. Because using this idea of saving water as an illustration of thrift is not a common one, at least not where I live. Clive
