Would you drink recycled sewage water?
Apparently we're going to have to do this. its just one of the undesirable effects of overpopulation in australia - the driest and least fertile continent of all.
Yet our government (pressured by property developers and big business) keep importing more and more immigrants and do nothing to reduce our high birth rate. we presently need a new city the size of canberra every year.
Of course, many more of us could have water tanks and use composting toilets. the latter need to be council-approved of course. they use no water and produce rich compost. even the methane gas they also produce can be used.
Too simple and sensible i guess, and the simple way doesn't make profits for the greedy.

I wonder if with the recycled water they are able to get out -- human waste/pesticides/and also the remains of the medication that are taken -- as I know that the medications are having a dreadful effect on marine life -- and of course fish -- so eating fish could also be a worry
