California set to approve a plan to turn sewage into drinking water.
Citizen Watch Report ^

Posted on 12/21/2023 2:49:50 AM PST by davikkm

California’s plan to recycle sewage into drinking water is a risky decision, raising concerns about public health and safety. Introducing treated wastewater into the same pipes that deliver drinking water lacks thorough consideration of potential contamination and long-term consequences, especially given the state’s history of extreme droughts.

While there’s a noted shift in public opinion, the approval of such a plan doesn’t guarantee its wisdom. Past backlash against similar projects suggests initial skepticism was justified, and California’s recurrent droughts call for a more cautious approach to water management.

Here is a idea - dams and reservoirs

California has a mountain range that runs along it’s eastern border. I would imagine there are many places dams could be build (not necessarily the size of Boulder dam, but big enough to catch the winter run off. The side benefit would using them to generate electricity.

Would it be easier and more cost efficient to render sea water into drinking water? The Israelis do it.

Saudi Arabia averages three inches of rain per year, but no longer has a water supply problem. Why is that?

This isn’t far-fetched. The Space Station functions entirely on recycled water, for example.

The drawback is that it needs abundant energy, which is something CA is woefully short of.

The water crisis would of course be much reduced if there weren’t millions of illegals flooding the state, but Noisome won’t do anything about that.

There are three sinks ….. the soil, the water, the air but the truth is there is only one sink ….. garbage in garbage out. The pattern of cleaning the water from the toilet and releasing back into the creeks, streams, and rivers has been SOP for nearly one century. Prior to then it was put in a hole in the ground or thrown out a window or back door.

I would guess the environmentalists would be against it saying that it would lower the sea level. Though that would help since they predict many areas to be under water soon.

If I run water from my tap, the thought of it deriving from seawater is certainly more palatable than sewage. But maybe others think differently.

“If I run water from my tap, the thought of it deriving from seawater is certainly more palatable than sewage.”

I agree, especially since a number of countries have been using desalination plants successfully for years.
