Good idea ^^ much better to die of dehydration then to have to think about where the water came from >_>. Texas has been recycling water forever as we are always going through droughts and things.
The point is don't throw away a perfectly good solution because of misguided beliefs...
I'd hate to be drinking recycled water. It might be a lot cleaner than rainwater, but the thought of that what I drank was something I wouldn't even touch. Singapore seems to be doing it OK, but for some reason we were almost literally pointing guns with them over water prices.
Most of the time, recycled water is saved for use in industries, agriculture, etc. But I guess if it makes you feel better, your current water supply might be just as disturbing. I saw people swimming/fishing in the processed water near where I stay. All of them were foreign labor who had no idea where the water came from and thought it was a lake .
Another similar point of real idiocy are the people who would pay double or triple for 'fish caught in the wild' which were supposedly healthier than farmed fish. Some later complained because they couldn't tell the difference.
Disclaimer: Any sarcasm in my posts will not be mentioned as that would ruin the purpose. It is assumed that the reader is intelligent enough to tell the difference between what is sarcasm and what is not.
Out of curiosity, what's so complicated about desalination? I always thought you could just boil/evaporate the stuff anbd have an angled condensing plate leading to another tub. Water evaporates, rises, condenses on the plate, then the drips roll down cos of the angle and it trickles neatly into the new tub...
That works for small volumes, but it would take a whole lot of power to run enough for a water supply. (I haven't looked it up, but) I assume there's a better process.
Man, am I disappointed in the ignorance of a few of our members, especially Axel, whom I once respected. The following question is directed at you, Axel.
Q> Which is 'worse'?
A) To eat shit because you have NO OTHER CHOICE.
B) To eat shit because it's cheaper.
That's it Axel, you argument really was that easy to beat.
Now, it's your turn Shadrach. By reading your post, it is very evident that you live near a sewage plant. The shit has already started coming from your mouth. Are you sure the sewage plant you live near isn't the hospital you were born at?
Now, Dipshit, do you not think that normal water goes through a filtration process anyways? And hell yes I would prefer drinking duck shit over human shit (if that was the case.) I don't know anyone who would disagree with that.
Now I know I asked for opinions, and I value other people's even if I disagree with it. If your going to sink to name-calling, I will match you and do one better, that's why my reply to Shadrach was so unpleasant. I do not enjoy stupid little forum wars, nor do I enjoy disrespecting other people. If you have only insults and stupid comments to reply (Shadrach), please do so somewhere else.
Like Axel said, you are completely missing the point.
"Man, am I disappointed in the ignorance of a few of our members"
You calling us ignorant is like Rik Waller calling Kate Moss fat. If you took a minute to look at the facts you would realise that recycled water and "normal" water contain the same thing. How can you not get your stupid little brain around that? Recycled water has no shit in it.
Now let's take a minute to rephrase that for people of your intelligence level, Clownface:
WATER GOOD! SHIT WATER - SHIT = WATER. SHIT WATER GOOD!
I am all for respecting people's opinions, but frankly you do not deserve any.
I'd be more worried about the crap they put in after it's purified. Fluoride and all that. What about the pipes pumping any water into your home? They might contain blood, piss and bits of sick.
all you guys who are complaining about having CLEAN (once crap filled water to drink are stupid. All water is recycled anyway, they are just removing natire as the middleman. When treatment plants break down, they shut off the lines from the broken pumps, fix them and clean them. I however am from California and have arospace waste in my water, i still drink it cause i'm gonna die anyway
