Recycled Water: Pros and Cons

Recycling water is beneficial to the environment and the world so personally, I don’t see anything wrong with using water that has been recycled. It also doesn’t contribute to the wasting of water or water shortages. The selling of recycled water would be good for the consumers and sellers alike as the consumers get cheaper water, and the sellers get lots of sales from the cheap recycled water. If always used, recycled water will make sure that there will be no more water shortages in Australia or just about any part of the world.

Using recycled water helps save the world and contributes to environment. If the water is really cheap and easy to make, then the water can be given to the people in need of water. For example, the homeless, starving, and many others who I am sure are in the need of water to save their life (of lives). Our human waste is turned into something that can be good for us and the environment. Something that is good for the world and us.

The building and construction (literally the same thing) of water desalination/recycling plants costs millions or sometimes billions to make and even when made, the plants costs money to constantly update the parts and processes of the plant. Then again, the construction or building of the plant could lead to more jobs to unemployed women and men. In this economic crisis, getting job is your number one priority, and if you have a job, keeping it is a number one priority. The recycled water will also be cheaper for buyers as it will only be occasionally be in shortage. Although this feature could lead to a higher price to buyers.

The recycled water also gives things a bad name. For example, a few years ago, when the town Toowomba decided to use recycled water to attract tourists. Bad move. This mistake led to nickname like Poowomba, or Toowomba the town of poo. Even now, people still remember the tourism ploy that failed spectacularly. Then there is the tasted difference between recycled water and normal bottled water. The truth, after numerous surveys and research, turns out that people said that the taste of recycled water is better than bottled water.

In the end, the pros of recycled water out number the cons, so this recycled water idea seems like it would work. In the future, when there is no more water, people can just use recycled water and the problems solved because they just recycle it. In the end it’s just water and everybody needs it.
