Water Recycling
Description
Drought, increasing populations, and shifting rainfall patterns are placing ever-greater demands on water supplies. But this video clip focuses on all that precious liquid we flush away. Can our wastewater be safely recycled for human consumption? In southeast Queensland a controversial multibillion dollar scheme is recycling water from treated sewage. Supporters of the initiative believe it will provide a much-needed boost to urban water supplies, but critics claim the technology can't guarantee the water is clear of dangerous contaminants.
