what do you drink when there's nothing else?

Recycling greywater by individual households for irrigation and flushing toilets has generally only been adopted by hardcore greens, but the BBC reports that now the Queensland (Australia) government is looking at drinking recycled waste water. Drought is forcing the situation, but this should help increase awareness of the need for water conservation in the long term. According to the BBC News report, water is already recycled in places like Singapore and the UK, but the idea is still unpopular in Australia.

And another BBC report this week says Sydney faces the threat of severe droughts and other climate-related dangers.
