[交流] 【Share】Soon we will be drinking treated pee

Source: Global Times [16:31 November 03 2010]
    Someday, millions of Americans will be drinking their own urine,, says Robert Roy Britt, managing editor of LiveScience.com.
    In a recent commentary for the site, Britt said that because of imminent drought in the West, many people will have to rely on treated sewage - containing human waste - for their drinking water. "We now have too many people living in places where we don't have fresh water," Britt said.
    Orange County takes "highly treated" sewer water and sends it through various filtration and purification processes, until the final product exceeds the standards for most drinking water. The water is then seeped back into the aquifer, where it blends with natural water that eventually makes it to the tap. The treatment takes only about 45 minutes.
    The method, called the Groundwater Replenishment System, or GWRS, went online in January 2008 and currently turns 96 million gallons of wastewater into 70 million gallons of recycled water daily. "Some people are already drinking their own pee and don't know it," said Britt, referring to the people of Orange County

How nasty it is to drink urine from other people you even do not know
