indy500fan Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 They should go ahead and build the plant's and disguise them as cookie factories so the people don't know they're drinking it :P I'm not making weapon's of mass destruction, it's a Chocolate chip factory!

pault Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 ALL water is recycled. The same water you are drinking today was drank by dinosaurs, bathed in by kings, and sailed across by pirate ships. It's pointless to be opposed to recycled water, because you're already drinking it. The question is, should we speed up the process by directly reusing waste water? I say yes, if we have the technology, which we probably do. Climate change experts belive billions will die due to water shortages as the earth heats up, most likely within the next hundred years. Why not prepare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agunimon979 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 The title sais it all. Recently here in south-east Queesland, the Premier of the state has declared that we will be recycling sewrage via the tried and tested method of reverse osmosis and putting it back into water reservoirs. I, personally, am all for the idea for a few reasons - We are running out of water dangerously fast, and there is no other cost effective answer. It will obviously be regulated stringently. The act of putting recycled water in water reservoirs has been tried in Singapore, with no apparant detrimental affects. (I'll add more later, I'm a bit strapped for time) Bibliography - Source 1 Source 2 (will add more later) So what do you guys think? YES or NO to drinking recycled water and WHY? Ehhhh..... there's a whole globe full of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pault Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Ehhhh..... there's a whole globe full of water. Billions of people will suffer water shortages and the number of hungry will grow by hundreds of millions by 2080 as global temperatures rise, scientists warn in a new report. The report estimates that between 1.1 billion and 3.2 billion people will be suffering from water scarcity problems by 2080 and between 200 million and 600 million more people will be going hungry. http://www.breitbart.com/news/2007/01/3 ... xdzu8.html http://www.google.com/search?q=world+th ...

Agunimon979 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 1) Wells ftw 2) Scientists are baffled morons 3) The human mind thinks he knows everything but he doesn't. 4) There's been enough water to last thousands of years, dont know how 73 years can change it. 5) I say, don't worry about water shortages until we can finally understand the whole meaning of this, when the world is closer to 2080.

____ Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 How about you take into consideration the AVAILABILITY OF DRINKABLE WATER; rather than just water in general. Sure you could go to the coast and take a few swigs from the ocean; but I'll bet you'll be feeling pretty crook afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agunimon979 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Pssh... by 2080 even Africa will have drinkable water. Water purifiers will be common enough to stop a dehydration "disease". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhhh. Sigh. Youv'e made my brain hurt. 1) You can't put wells everywhere and they are completely useless to water a city. 2) No they're not. 3) At least other people on this topic and others in the world have an interest to help find suitable drinking water sources. 4) Yeah.. Why don't you come to my country, the driest one on the planet and see what our dam levels are at. In 73 years, if current trends continue, we will run dry. 5) Yes, good idea. Lets wait untill 4 million in Sydney, 3 million in Melbourne, 2 million in Brisbane and 1 million in Adelaide have had to move to north western WA and resettle where they have been having record rainfalls i.e. wait untill our countries economy, inferstructure and way of life completely die.

Tigra00 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I see only one solution. Nuke Australia. No no, hear me out you crazy aussies. Don't be angry. They're special WATER nukes. WATER! Great idea, right? I know. Afterall...When Hydrogen and Oxygen fuse...Boom! Water! And you guys have plenty of Oxygen there, right? Of course you do. All we have to do now is send hydrogen bombs over and BAM! The sky will rain fir--Water. Yes, water. Yes. ...Or just recycle your damn toilet water like the rest of the civilized world. :P It's the same thing. It's only gross when you think about it. But if you see how well it's filtered, boiled, tested, etc, you really wouldn't care. They're not going to put you in any danger. :P The popularity of any given religion today depends on the victories of the wars they fought in the past. - Me!

But yeah, the only thing wrong with recycled water is peoples perception of it. Including all state premiers apart from ours. Other state premiers are hesitating and as a result, putting thier states in danger of drying up quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but what if the current trends in Australia don't continue? What if the rate it's going at now changes? What if? Scientists said at the rate it's going now, not if the rate changes. Anything could happen. The water nuke could be dropped on Australia. Maybe the dams would come back. Maybe the whole world will be destroyed by then. Who knows? Noone. Scientists still claim they are predictions. Unless you have a time machine and have gone to the future you can't actually claim that it's true.

So you're basically saying that we should sit around on our hands, with the possibility that things will not change and when the outcomes I proposed do happen, we just say "but there was a chance it wouldn't have turned out like this, we were just hangin out for the rain!" Give me a break mate. Prevention is needed if we want to survive a catastrophe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonimu Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Water gets recycled naturally anyway... Speeding up the process isn't that bad...

pault Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Given recent reports that billions will die from thirst in the next 80 years due to climate change, we should probably be recycling as much as possible.

Tigra00 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Drinking sea water sucks hardcore. :'( I was at the beach in South Carolina two weeks ago and got a nice big mouthful blasted down my throat. Threw up immediately, of course. You just can't help it, it's so horrid you just vomit. I NEVER throw up but that just made me hork immediately. :P ...And I disected a dead jelly fish on the beach...With a stick. Suprisingly firm, those little guys. They're like breast implants...Squishy, yet too firm to be called "Soft". Found like 30 large Conch shells too. Wewt. :o ...Wait, this is about drinkin' poo-poo water...
