September 2006 (Medialink) — We’ve all heard of recycling cans, newspapers, even plastics… But how about recycling water? The practice is becoming more prevalent - and for good reason. The average American household uses about 350 gallons of water a day and even more in the summertime - and that doesn’t even include all the water needed to maintain parks, golf courses, schools, etc.
Since water is a natural resource - one in limited supply - many communities are recognizing that they have to act today to ensure they’ll have enough water for tomorrow. Enter water recycling, a two-step process that uses advanced technologies to turn wastewater into clean water. First, a technology called membrane filtration from Siemens Water Technologies filters harmful solids and bacteria from wastewater through thousands of straw-like micro-porous filters. Then, the clean water passes through an even finer membrane filter. The result: water that is purified above drinking water standards.
This water is then used for other purposes - such as watering golf courses and parks, as well as industrial and construction projects.
Recycled water has saved the region more than 65 billion gallons of drinking water since 1995 and water recycling plants are popping up more and more around the country.

Yeah (brag) this is what I do.
These ‘news’ reports always pretend like the people have always been there and if we just increase the water supply a bit everything will be hunky-dory. They never mention that the water system was fine until the population was intentionally pushed beyond what the resources could handle. They never mention that the population will continue rising to infinity and no amount of water will ever be enough.
This is great.
im pretty sure news reporters came to a family’s house and told kids, drink water on camera for our report.. thats why those kids are drinking a cup of water like they do it all the time. but in reality, they’re drinking so much fucking soda it’s not even funny.
What happened to the poo poo?
Water evaporates forming clouds then falls as rain, this is how water is recycled. Fresh water falls as rain. It collects pollution on the way down though. This is why we filter water. It only becomes salty when it flows into salt water. This is why I think that drinking water from a shallow well surrounded by clay to filter the water is best.
Yes, but isn’t the clean water slowly turning to salt water, or is the clean water the one continually getting recycled? And what about acid rain? Don’t some chemicals stay in the water?
Hmmm, is the energy needed to recycle wastewater produce more disproportionately more carbon to lead to greenhouse warming and climate change, compared to sourcing new water? Just a thought…

The water on this planet is the same water that has been on this planet from day one. Used over and over.

This is interesting.
You might like my site “carlgordonhedman” where I show my device for using bathwater to flush adjoining toilet.
Alright, the space shuttle/international space stations’ water reuse tech finally arrives. Although it still wouldn’t hurt to install dual-flush toilets.
