Australian Drought Means Recycled Water
Posted on: Friday, 2 February 2007, 15:00 CST
Drought conditions in Brisbane, Australia, could leave Queensland with the highest percentage of recycled water of any place in the world.
When a recycled water pipeline goes into operation late next year, all that would be left in the water supply if the drought continues is a 50-50 mix of desalinated and recycled water, the chairman of the Ware Commission's recycled water advisory panel, University of Queensland professor Paul Greenfield, told The Courier-Mail.
It's a high percentage, but the water is very pure. With the dam levels very low, that's an inevitability that we have to face, he said.
Recycled and desalinated pipelines are expected to begin pumping water into the area in December of 2008 and January of 2009, respectively.

Posted by natasha on 02/06/2007, 05:16 Recycled water would be a travesty to everyones health. Water has a memory - as Dr. Emotos work illustrates. Imprinted upon the memory of recycled water is the pill -oestrogen, pharmaceutical drugs and a whole host of other poisons to the living cells of the human body. Bring on the de-salinanated water - we have enough ocean salt water and sea levels are rising, as the icebergs are melting. Solve 2 problems at once - a win for nature and a win for humanity. The way natural law intended. |
