Why would you need that much water to wash a load of dishes? I would figure maybe 3-4 gallons, which usually includes a few pots or big bowls that wouldn't go in a dishwasher anyway.
Of course as a single person, if I waited until I had a full dishwasher load, the food residue would either be dried hard & impossible to remove, or moldy. And it's not like the water is used up: it goes into the septic tank, eventually leaves through the leach line, and waters trees & bushes in the back yard :-)
