I don't know why anyone would have a problem with this. 99.9% of the water on our planet has been here for billions of years. We're all drinking a million times recycled dinosaur piss on the daily.
lol, eat shit, El Paso!
I'm kidding, I would drink reclaimed poo water.
Ya already are
Little bit of poo on everything.
Kinda curious about how much the industrial/agricultural uses these days. Decades ago, they stonewashed blue jeans, flooded pecan farms, and even had a lake (Shadow Mountain). And I’m also curious how Juarez is doing it - the aquifer is probably the same
? The only lake El Paso’s ever had is Ascarate
Mountain Shadow Lake in the late 80s. Out near Horizon City. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JNUrt6Ht9c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12g4GE2Vc1Y
I stand corrected. I forgot the name of that shitty dirt puddle
Never went, and didn’t want to besmirch it… but I look at that video and wonder how it didn’t just all drain faster than it was filled. (Or how they handled evaporation….ah, a simpler time)
I read the headline and went "what, are they going to start drinking their own piss?"
And the answer was yes. Yes they are drinking their own piss.
We're all drinking someone's piss.
The only problem with this system is it does not separate all the pharmaceuticals that humans pee out. It's the same issue every city on the Great Lakes deals with ... the need for potable water that is often sourced from where the treated water is sent.
The only way around it is distilling the water through heat, but that comes with its own set of issues.
