Anna Bligh doesn't understand recycling ...

Deputy Premier Anna Bligh was quoted in the Courier Mail as saying:

"Ms Bligh said the business plan showed project finances were solid, water costs were comparable to other measures and it [recycled water] was not a weather-dependent source of drinking supplies."

See - Anna - 80% of nothing is nothing.

If there is no rain, then all that is being recycled is recycled water. Figure on 80% recovery at best post-initial sewage works (that's what NEWater work on). Eventually you are recycling 80% of nothing (unless you start asking SEQ residents to consume vast amounts of beer).

Would someone in the recycled water industry please give the Deputy Premier some basic lessons in water recycling ...
