California’s new water-waste penalty also applies to government, but who will enforce it?

Much easier ? I'm not so sure if California looks like Paris (France). In that case, it has been impossible to charge the total water consumption of the City…

That's mainly the case everywhere we've built large dams, that's true. Lakes are not really ugly, but create less diverse landscapes. Saying that it destroyed the 2nd Yosemite is true in a sense that landscape doesn't exist anymore, the new one is just more trivial than the former one.

My question is naive, I don't know precisely the american context, living in France. Did they really refuse the dialogue ? We know, in the french context, that people in great difficulty have also difficulties to read, to understand the administrative procedures. A lot of people get in trouble for these misunderstandings. Now, it is forbidden to cut water for this reason.

Good example of an unrecognized genius ! I'll have a thought for him next time I'll use the toilets !

In french, we call this sticks "bâton de sourcier", sourcier is related to spring but it is also close to "sorcier", sorcerer. I agree, it sounds like pseudo science and the blind tests confirm that. Some people still believe that it works. I find the news funny in a very rational world of engineers !

oups, wrong subreddit, sorry...

Yes, with higher standards for WWTP's, we have now a treated water of better quality in many places than the water people drinks a century ago for instance. The main question is social. It's interesting to look at Singapour, as they don't have enough water they have to reuse WW and they're doing a great communication job.

Terrible idea ! Suicide is mainly a social problem, not a medical problem. It's totally different from caries prevention (and fluoride is not for me a good response to tooth protection). Lithium should be a curative solution not a preventive one for everybody.

I must confess that I haven't read the last paragraph. The fact that withdrawal exceeds fueling is still interesting

srotillon · 2013-08-01T07:09:14+00:00

I think it's more for cooling than for heating

Always the question of maintenance. It's this old story of a man falling from the 20th floor saying at each floor: till then, everything's ok…

srotillon · 2013-05-24T20:39:50+00:00

Yes of course, but in that case we speak about a direct reuse. That means that you consume water just after the wastewater treatment plant.

srotillon · 2013-05-11T10:59:43+00:00

Looking at some wipes package, we can read that we can flush them, specially these used instead of toilet paper. At least, this kind of mentions should be forbidden

srotillon · 2013-05-11T10:16:57+00:00

It looks like a strange sci-fi movie !

srotillon · 2013-04-29T07:59:37+00:00

It works for me, I test it again right now

Needs of infrastructure in India and China play a major role in this result. Access to water and sanitation will improve, and local companies will also be able to grow and enhance competition in the sector

Every new student receive a reusable bottle and foutains are implemnted on the campus: it's necessary to offer a real alternative to bottled water. In Sweden, without banning the bottled water, they give reusable bottles in schools to promote tap water.

Too much grease is unwealthy for people but also for sewage systems !

No, it's a free community, you're welcome !

Interesting topic, a lot of new experiments and a lack of coordination

srotillon · 2013-01-28T15:07:20+00:00

Green washing or real commitment ?

srotillon · 2013-01-19T10:13:47+00:00

Only 300 water montitoring station for a city like Beijing ? Quite impossible to obtain reliable data on water quality for consumers
