In many parts of our nation we find that our ground water is being depleted at a record pace and in some places they are taking the cities treated water from the sewer treatment plant and using it to re-charge the underground aquifers.
Of course you can imagine how this is causing a bit of concern, as eventually that water will be pumped back out and used again.
And many ask what will the water quality be like then? Well in this scheme and hopes to stop the total depletion of water in some regions, they will not know what may happen until many moons from now.
And some have asked are they really helping in this plan of Ground Water Re-charging or are they creating the worlds biggest Bacteria Underground Factory? The scientists and researchers behind it all are indeed confident that it should be okay.
But is shoulda, woulda, coulda good enough for our future generations or even ourselves in 10 to 20 years? Hard to say, it might be.
Yet every time there is a break out of disease or waterborne virus you can bet that the ground water re-charging will be one of the first suspects.
Everything might be okay and maybe there truly is no cause for alarm or is there? Please consider this in 2006.
