Isn't this water nearly 100% recyclable? It's not that it would get used up, like water used for watering of almond trees in California.


I mean, it could be - the highly filtered water could be re-filtered.

But unless it's cheaper to do so, or they're required by law to do so, they're just going to pump cleaner starting water out of the drinking supply and use that.

And good luck finding a city or state government that's not so desperate for big industry and tech jobs to arrive that they will hold their feet to the fire and demand they cut water use.
