Drinking water made from sewage – would you dare to drink it?
Thread Content
Although modern wastewater treatment technologies are highly advanced and can purify wastewater to a level suitable for drinking, this purified water is what is known as reclaimed water; it is almost identical to ordinary drinking water and harmless to the human body. But, would you still dare to drink the water in the cup you’re holding, knowing it has been purified from sewage?
When you know the water you’re holding is treated urine, would you dare to drink it?
I don’t know if I might drink it; even if I knew, it’s not certain
There are some heavy metal ions in it; I won’t mix it with anything
If I know, I definitely won’t drink it; if I don’t know, there might be nothing I can do.
If one knew who else would have to drink it, they’d probably be sent to a mental hospital. Hehehe
We have implemented projects to reuse wastewater from more than 10 coal mines as drinking water; this wastewater includes domestic sewage generated by workers who are absent from work and present underground. In areas with water shortages, there’s no need for it and nothing can be done about it.
These days, a lot of drinking water is actually reclaimed water from wastewater treatment plants, and many people drink it, though they’re unaware of that
Everyone knows how much exaggeration is involved in China’s environmental disposal practices.
