Yes, that's true. I guess I don't trust the municipal water system to do the job.
I also don't see how they can filter out all the drugs and salt that sewage water currently contains and is being released into the environment. These things are just going to accumulate. Or is there new invention I'm not aware of?
Granted, that's not the argument I originally stated but its definitely a question.
If you're aware familiar with the Colorado River, you may know that the water gets saltier and saltier as it is taken out, run through the land and drains back into it. Without any intervention, its pretty brackish by the time it gets to Mexico.
Running the same water through humanity over and over again is bound to have a similar problem.
- InclinedPlane 15y agoThe water of the Mississippi river gets filtered and processed and drunk by the residents of Minneapolis, then their waste water gets dumped into the river only to be taken up and processed by St. Louis who also dump their waste water back into the river only to later run out of the taps of the residents of New Orleans.
- stretchwithme 15y agoThats traveling with a whole lot of other water not the same water all of the time. And that's only 3 recycles not an endless number of recycles.
