water

[Nick Thompson]

Can anybody set me straight on the following?

It has always seemed to me that the fundamental problem of water reuse is
not bacteria but heavy meals and organic compounds.  Am I wrong?  If I am
correct, how do any of these recycling systems deal with those issues?

Also human hormones of various kinds and pharmaceuticals.

Here's one company that sells equipment to do it (e.g. for the
semiconductor industry)

I think the reverse osmosis addresses this.

The problem is that this is a scarse resource and also in my country there
is millions of people without water.
