Pay some attention to what shower products are being used or you may
start loading up your soil with nasty stuff -like acrylamide and metals.

Still pretty good numbers, I'd have thought the US and Oz to be much

From up close, it looks like we're all lazy sots, eh? But take heart,

we're not smacked down yet.

BTW I read the article on caffiene and dehydration... it was interesting
that somebody has done research on caffiene habituation and it's diuretic
properties.


Yep, I drink about 2-3cups of espresso a day so it really isn't a
problem.
At sea that goes up quite a bit, maybe killing time, maybe a little
boredom but my water comsumption remains pretty normal ie, no
dehydration.
With that in mind, I was interested to read that report which
explains why contrary to the myth.

Here's an interesting article (well, I thought so anyway) on a similar
topic

Ah yes, I've seen similar before.
My Chem teacher in high school was a sailor and explained the process
during a lecture on osmosis, cell structure and membranes natural and
synthetic.

BTW we are on strict water restrictions here, no washing of
cars/boats/hard surfaces, no garden sprinklers etc.
Our consumption has risen with drought and expansion of the population
so storage just can't cope.
Much talk on reuse of grey water, recycling of black water with a turn
around of around 2 years before it reaches our taps again,
And desalination though the consensus is that it uses way to much
energy to be practical.

Will be interesting to see what eventuates.
I'm renovating a bathroom used by my kids and am having the pipework
from theit shower and bath run into a tank for reuse flushing toilets,
watering gardens and maybe washing cars/boats.
Will be interesting to see how it works.
