It looks like lots of folks are interested in water issues lately.

Yesterday three articles concerning water issues crossed our screens that were worth sharing.

Is Your City Running Out of Water?: Good points us to an article on The 10 U.S. cities with the worst water concerns.

U.S. Water System Crumbling, Survey Supports Fix: TreeHugger tell us that U.S. water infrastructure is old and in disrepair. This results in pollution and wasted water. Sounds to us like incentive for using composting toilets and greywater systems.

Rethinking the Home Water System: Treehugger adapts an chapter from Lester Brown’s Plan B 4.0: Mobilizing to Save Civilization where the use of water to handle sewage is questioned and composting toilets are considered as an alternative.

Since 1973 Clivus Multrum has been the industry leader in composting toilets and greywater technologies. Composting toilets eliminate water from the waste stream and prevent the nutrients in human waste from becoming a source of pollution. Our waterless toilets and waterless urinals use no water at all. Our Foam-flush toilet is an ultra low flow toilet fixture that uses just six ounces of water per use. That’s a 97% water savings when compared with conventional 1.6 gallon per flush toilets. The M54 Trailhead is an ADA compliant pre fab or kit built stand alone restroom structure that comes in either a single stall or double stall with Clivus composting technology. The Trailhead is the natural solution for golf course and remote bathrooms. Clivus Multrum greywater systems (or graywater) recycle water from sinks, showers, dishwashers, and washing machines to irrigate plants. Many people consider composting toilets when looking for an alternative to conventional onsite waste treatment technologies. Satisfied Clivus customers include the National Park Service, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, the City of New York, Green Builders, Parcs Canada, and state and local parks throughout North America and beyond.
