Maude Barlow: The Growing Battle for the Right to Water (fwd)

[Paul Paryski]

Cloudcroft in NM is installing a sewage system that will recycle water  
turning sewage into potable water which will then be reused.  I have been  trying
to get Santa Fe to consider such a system, (these systems are used in  Europe).
 The savings in water would be significant.

   While I applaud Cloudcroft's initiative, I have to question the
significance.  Domestic use is a small part of total withdrawals or
consumption.  The really significant uses are for irrigation and energy
production.
