Not quite.
> if we engineer a solution that produces water of a purity greater than water from a reservoir
This statement hinges on our ability to accurately measure the purity. This is far from settled and I can understand the hesitation.
Personally, I would take a look at the methods of purification. If they're using tons of chemicals, and most purification processes do, then I would pass.
I would prefer they use osmosis and then dump the contents out where they can filter down to natural aquifers, allowing natural filtration to take place. Then you pump it back up using the infrastructure we already have in place and put it through the regular process.
- noir_lord 11y agoThe UK has some of the best drinking water in the world, my local water company does hundreds of thousands of tests each year of which <.3% where over there own limits which are mode stringent than required standards, you can do these things to a given standard if you want to. Example report for my region http://www.ywonline.co.uk/web/WQZ.nsf/0/26AA27A47E437B1B802574FD003D96AB/$file/Holderness%202008%20WSZ.pdf http://www.ywonline.co.uk/web/WQZ.nsf/0/26AA27A47E437B1B8025...
- maratd 11y agoYou can have the best testing in the world and the test will still only detect substances that it was designed to detect. By definition, it can't detect anything we don't know about or are looking for. The natural filtration process has been around since forever and we know it works well. There is no reason not to use it.
