The whole avenue of analysiing waste water when you have centeralised procesisng of the inhabitants as a finger in the air feel upon things is already used in some avenues and like this, many more avenues of potential. Sure it won't be exacting, but does give a feel for things in a way that is very cost effective over alternatives in so many area's. For example, drug usage - measuring the waste water for levels of cocaine, etc etc etc is already used to some degree and proven in many studies. Sure it won't say who, what or exactly were and with that, also anonymised and ticks a few privacy box's in that respect. Let alone the aspect that your fecies and urine and property that we all happily sign away to the water/waste company and even pay them. They can do with it what they like if it comes down to it, but in this approach, nobody is identified and it is more a finger in the air measure of things and a good indication of any shifts/change overall for the costs and speed of doing so. Though personal toilets that will do some serious analysis of your waste for health reasons may well be a big in japan joke phase, but certainly at some level they do have merit and whilst the waste treatments today may be a good overall feel, the market and technology will gradualy filter down into the homes for those that want to be ontop of their health or just want that extra level of safty. Certainly a good initiative and practical approach, though such an approach does depend upon a good waste/water infrastructure and that will be mostly modern area's, towns cities and the like and for some area's, may not have that high a percentage using such centralising waste management. Though when we start tracking area's health media wise like we do weather and get the poo forecast, that's when I know reality has caught up with my darkest of humour.
