It is a mistake to confound the problems of industrial, agricultural, and drinking water. Much of the projected industrial water unmet need has been eliminated by emission standards that make it cheaper for many firms to purify and recycle their water than to dump it. Agricultural water need not be mineral free or purified of all organic waste. Much drainage can be cheaply processed into useful water. Finally, the drinking water problem is not a problem of drinking water, but of distributing water of drinking quality for sprinkling on lawns and meeting toilet and fire needs. If one wishes to minimize the cost of providing potable water, he will concentrate on the bottled water and soft-drink industries. In short, the water problem, like so many, is primarily an economic problem. What is the least costly way of providing water consistent with the political and social institutions of the community. And besides, if the title of the thread wants to quote Coleridcge, its Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink. I'd even drink tap water, but there's stockings in the sink.
