As a water engineer, I have very strong views on water. Among all the natural resources, water is the most badly treated. Our use of water is quite unsustainable in the long term. We pollute our water resources quite readily and then spend vast amounts of scarce resources trying to clean up our own mess. Why can we not treat all forms of water, freshwater, stormwater, wastewater, saline water as a precious resource to be protected? Why can we not adopt the concept of use of water 'fit-for-purpose' which will then enable us prudently manage and allocate our water resources prudently and with foresight.

Some call this POU, POE, (Point Of Use, Point Of Entry) water treatment. Or why waste potable water on a lawn and down a toilet. "you don't want to flush your money down the toilet do you?"
