what chemical is in the new water?

Answer 1

Water is irreplaceable.

Answer 2

There is no new water. The water we are using has been around for years...we are just re-using it over and over.

Hydrologic Cycle:
Precipitaion>Percolation>Run-off>Evapo-Transpiration>Evaporation>Condensation>Precipitaion

Drinking Water Cycle:
Source Water>Water Treatment Plant>Distribution System>Households, Commercial and Industrial Users> Sewage Collection System>Wastewater Treatment Plant>Irrigation or Receiving Stream>Source Water

Answer 3

As long as it is water, the chemical formula is H2O. Of course for drinking water, there are always some ions, including fluoride, sodium, and chlorides.

Answer 4

Reclaimed water is wastewater (sewage) that has been treated and purified to be as clean as (or sometimes cleaner than) standard drinking water. It is frequently used to irrigate golf courses and parks, fill decorative fountains, and fight fires. It can also be used to irrigate crops, as long as they will be peeled or boiled before human consumption.

Benefits
The costs involved with reclaimed water typically exceed those of standard potable water in most regions of the world, where a fresh water supply is plentiful. However, in areas where supplies of fresh water are limited, treating wastewater for reuse is becoming an economically attractive option, because it conserves drinking water. This is why many cities in Southwestern United States make use of reclaimed water.

Reclaimed water is usually sold to citizens at a cheaper rate than standard drinking water. It also contains higher levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, which help fertilize plants when used for irrigation.

Suitable for drinking?
Reclaimed water is not directly mixed with potable (drinking) water for several reasons: the extra filtering processes may remove minerals that are present in standard drinking water; humans may face psychological barriers against drinking reclaimed water (since it was formerly sewage); and small amounts of pharmaceutical chemicals may pass through the filtering process, potentially causing danger to humans. Because of this, many cities actually ban citizens from drinking, bathing in, washing cars or filling swimming pools with reclaimed water. Those who irrigate their lawn or plants with reclaimed water should place a sign on their property warning people not to drink from the irrigation system.

On the other hand, many cities are now investigating indirect potable use of reclaimed water. For example, reclaimed water may be pumped into reservoirs where it will mix with (and be diluted by) rainwater. This mixture of rainwater and reclaimed water could then be treated again, and finally used as drinking water. This technique is referred to as groundwater recharging or reservoir augmentation.

Many large cities using water from rivers are inevitably using water that came from treated sewage discharged upstream. It is sometimes said that water in London has been drunk five times before it arrived at the tap, but this is an exaggeration. There are many large towns on the River Thames upstream of London (Oxford, Reading, Swindon, Bracknell) that discharge their treated sewage into the river, which is used to supply London with water downstream. This phenomenon is also observed in the United States, where the Mississippi River serves as both the destination of sewage treatment plant effluent and the source of potable water. Research conducted in the 1960s by the London Metropolitan Water Board demonstrated that the maximum extent of recycling water is about 11 times before the taste of water induces nausea in sensitive individuals. This is caused by the build up of inorganic ions such as Cl-, SO4--, K+ and Na+, which are not removed by conventional sewage treatment.
