Water Problems?

California has been in a drought for the last four years. To provide water for the densely populated areas of Orange County and other locations in southern California that are in need of water and there supply is running out. California has started to turn to purifying water from their population sewage. Many people are not thrilled about this option, but this new filter will save California money that would be used to import water from other countries.

I am personally skeptical with the knowledge that the water in California is safe to drink. However, according to, "David Sedlak, a UC Berkeley professor of civil and environmental engineering" it is even cleaner with less salt  than water that are from these areas. If you have ever tasted water from southern California it is really not to difficult to make water taste better than the tap water there. Especially, if you are from the Pacific Northwest area there water is horrible. This article interested me because it is a prime example of how sustainability practices can be a part of a solution to a natural problem.
