By using water unnecessarily we are adding to the problem of depleting the
water table faster than it can be replenished.  Ask any Floridian.  In
effect we interrupt the natural water cycle.  Yes, the water ends up in the
rivers, with more or less acceptable impurity levels according to our EPA,
but we get our drinking water from other sources.

By de-salinating the sea water efficiently and without undue by-products,
then pumping this water to the users, we would no longer deplete the water
table.  The used household water would be processed, put into rivers where
it returns back to the ocean in an acceptable form.

I think that's how my dream went.

Then there was that part where the black boys and girls were judged by the
content of their character, not the color of their skin, and the tangled
discards of our nation were turned into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.

So I'll just keep on dreaming.

Don't we pay for the water we use? I get a water bill every two months. And
what about the wear and tear on the water recovery systems?
