Most people are scared or disgust by the idea of drinking recycled water
What about you?

Do you know how many kind of pollution can affect the water you are already drinking

The system existed for years in some countries and it works

So why not here?

The funny thing is that most people who said they would not agree in drinking recycled water aren t making any effort to save water.

Wake up please it's not for nothing water is called blue gold !!!

Isn't everything that we drink, in a sense recycled what. Or it atleast a lot of the things we drink.

Absolutely. Every drop of water we drink was probably dinosaur piss at one time. The natural hydrological cycle gave us pure drinking water.
However, now the atmosphere has mercury from coal fired power plants in it. River water used, purified, and put back into the system of rivers or groundwater still does not have all pollutants cleaned out. There are hormones, pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals that are very difficult to remove still there increasing with each user downstream.
The ag chemicals gradually either get washed into rivers and into estuaries -- producing "dead zones", or seep into the ground water and into well water in many areas. The same with mining water laden with cyanides or arsenic. Some ground water naturally has arsenic and is used because there is not enough pure water for the huge overpopulation in places like Bangladesh.
In India, many places have hundreds of thousands of people that spend their entire life never using a real toilet, and the rivers running by are filled with various fecal bacteria and diseases.
Many lakes are getting ruined seasonally by algae blooms from ag chemicals or overloaded septic leech fields transferring gradually to lakes, rivers, and nearby wells. All from overpopulation and its demands for more food production, even though of lesser quality than before, and for waste disposal over that which the natural system can absorb.

I think we need very little water to drink.

We should eat a lot of fruits and vegetables which contain plenty of water with all kinds of nutrients we need physiologically.
This is the way our ancestors did 10,000 years ago. It can bring our instincts into full play and make us healthy.

You are full of crap!! We need to drink pure water daily, between 48 and 64 ounces. Sure we need fruit, and vegetables, too.
10,000 years ago they drank plenty of pure water daily, and didn't have feces, urine, insecticides, herbicides, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, diseases, and heavy metals in their rivers.
The strongest and smartest men lived to breed with the best looking women, while the weak and stupid died and the ugly did not breed.
Now for the past 80 years we have had overpopulation and reverse evolution. You are obviously a product of those things.
Still, your rants are much better than the dirty rotten spammers.

:laugh: Now that gave me a chuckle. BTW ... I don't like the idea of recycled water ... ick.

Every bit of water is "recycled" already. And the process of filtering and bottling it would not be so different. So, I would definitely be fine with it and see nothing disgusting about it.

The only thing we drink in our office is recycled water. It doesn't taste any different, it's just your imagination that you don't like it. Not to mention how bad it is to buy bottled water. Read this article and watch the video, than you can see why we should drink recycled water. http://www.greentimes.com.au/food-drink/the-story-of-bottled-water.html

Ill drink it... be like being a space man

It all depends on how good the filtration is. They are not all the same. For instance, Phoenix recycles 80% of its water, and it tasts bad to me. Too salty.
Does the filtration take out heavy metals? hormones? pharmaceuticals? viruses and prions? Industrial chemicals, pesticides and herbicides?
Sometimes the toxics are tasteless and odorless, and filtration systems can get overloaded. Often harmful chemicals are allowed in small concentrations or labeled non-toxic, and chlorine is thrown it to kill most of the pathogens.
Many poisons accumulate over time in the human body, and the various symptoms are blamed on something else.
So know the system used, its maintenance, and just what is not filtered out. Remember, governments will often lie about it, and say the community water is safe, when, over the long term, it is not. That is why bottled water is so popular. However, the profiteering and uncaring about what happens to their bottles is unconscionable.

I'm ok with recycled water. I've had worst things like TOBACCO-one day my uncle was wrestling with me and he laughed and somehow all of the tobacco in his mouth perfectly transferred into my mouth. After that happened I drank lots of "recycled water” to try and clean out my system.

Yuck!! In my early biology I took a glass of the local yucky swamp water, which the class got to see under the microscope all the various organisms and smell it. I put river rock gravel in a coffee can with a hole drilled at the bottom side. First large gravel, then smaller to pea gravel, then sand. I poured the glass of swamp water through the sand and gravel and held a clean glass under the bottom. When it quit dripping, I took a dropper from an antiseptic iodine bottle and put in one drop. I stirred it and let it sit a minute, then drank some. Then let the glass smell it and look at it under the microscope. No smell, no microorganisms. Some others tried drinking it and said it was "OK". I was the top student on biology (and geology) through high school and college.:smile:
This, of course, was rudimentary field filtration and purification used by campers and armies. It does not remove heavy metals, industrial chemicals, hormones, pharmaceuticals, or some viruses. The innocent "old" days.:smile:

How did you learn to do that at such a young age? Boy Scouts? And what lead you down the path to study geology?

I began my own lab at age 12 and studied various sciences on my own, but some was also learned in Boy Scouts. I loved rocks and dinosaurs, but was hit by the flying bug too. I ended up flying professionally and teaching advanced ground schools. I kept up with geology, along with other sciences religiously, over the years. I also keenly observed the human caused degradation wherever I went.
There was more hydrology in my self-study than in my geology college courses.
The sand and gravel filter trick may have come from a book I had called 10,000 Formulas for Home and Farm, now long out of print because it also detailed making explosives and fireworks.
