I've been wondering. Is water ever really wasted? Unless it's leaving the earth everyday, isn't water just going to be on earth because of water cycle? Evaporation, plant absorption etc. makes it seem like water isn't ever really wasted, just gone to a different place but will not leave earth. Am i wrong?

My understanding from someone close to me who works in wastewater treatment is that disinfection (killing pathogens - bacteria/viruses) is no problem and removing particulate matter. But removal of pharmaceutical chemicals that we excrete is still a major challenge.

Mind-blown by the intricate journey our water takes from toilet to tap! This TED-Ed video brilliantly uncovers the hidden processes that transform wastewater into clean, safe drinking water. A true marvel of modern science and engineering!

So, does this mean we should start using Brawndo for drinking and irrigation, instead of using toilet water? They do say that Brawndo has electrolytes, after all, and that electrolytes are what plants crave.

RO systems waste so much water in the filtering process! look into it. All the bottled water in North America is RO. They take the minerals out of the water then add them back in.

I've honestly always wondered why more forms of biological water filtration haven't been used. after all, nature is the best solution.

In Singapore, this type of water has a name, NEWater! The residents were skeptical initially but we are generally fine with it now.

Why not just boil it and collect the vapor for clean water? Virus, germs and pollutents don't get carried allong, do they?
