Reversed technology


New filter spotted in the clinic.

While we probably might be facing a bad drought soon, warned the meteorologists, here we are draining gallons of water away a day in exchange for a "reverse osmotic" drinking water. It appeared that, for every drop of water filtered, about 10ml of water is also drained and wasted. Not a smart idea.

it's not that bad if you consider how much water some girls use when they're washing their hair in the shower.

the 'wastage' here is minuscule.
