The Great Water Controversy

To use reclaimed water or not seems to be the question to ask at this time. Going through the internet trying to find what to blog about on this page, water for golf courses and the controversy surrounding it keeps popping up.

There seem to be pros and cons to the story one of the main focuses of using recycled water are it can save millions of gallons of fresh water each year. Recycled water is usually less costly as well to encourage its use.

The cons of this controversy are that studies have shown that there are possible public health effects to be considered. Recycled waters contain pathogens that can be transferred to people just from the mist from the sprinklers. Some of these parasites can travel up to 1000 feet in the mist of the sprayed water.

So I would like to throw this question out to all here reading what do you think?
