That's the recommendation from a new report by the US National Research Council, who say reclaimed waste water is needed as a necessary substitute for the dwindling supply of freshwater. What's more, reprocessed urine might actually be cleaner than freshwater.
As we consider the "Kevin Costner in Waterworld" school of water management, let's look at how we got here. According to committee chair R. Rhodes Trussell, the treatment process is now advanced enough that processed wastewater can become a significant part of our clean water supply. Although this processing is likely to be more expensive than water conservation efforts, it is a generally cheaper alternative to desalinization and other methods for generating new water supplies.
