Water, Water Everywhere
January 28, 2008
You wish. If like myself you live in Australia, you would know the scarcity of water and how every drop must be conserved. The water crisis has escalated and we are now searching for new ways to create a water surplus. One of the cheapest and most readily available solutions was that to recycle waste water. This option is probably the best and most reliable if for not it’s only road block: the majority of people living in NSW. When we think of waste water we see, umm well you know. Your probably thinking about it now. Poo water you say? But is it really? Firstly, lets look at where our existing drinking water comes from. We receive our water from Warragamba damn, a place surrounded by the bush and habitats. Not so bad right? Couldn’t possibly be worse than recycling water. Well, you could be wrong. Before it is processed the organisms that surround the Warragamba habitat use the damn for their very survival. Animals will clean, drink and even use it as a toilet, but this does not seem to bother us. Maybe its because we never think of this, maybe it’s about time you did.It is said that this recycled water is more clean than the drinking water we currently recieve because as it is recycled, it must go under more strict cleaning processors. Now contrary to the belief this water does not have solid waste amongst it so when you take a drink your not going to get chunk of you know what in your mouth (Yes, i went there. Now lets move on). So what really holds us back? We have the best opportunity to relieve our suffering water level, but we can’t get past ourselves and our imaginations, there is nothing wrong, dangerous or distgusting about recycled water. Now, who wants to get me a glass of water?
