In a survey done by Xylem Inc it found that 49 percent of respondents, are very supportive of using recycled water as an additional local water supply and another 38 percent are somewhat supportive. Yet after reading educational statements explaining the treatment process that water goes thorough to become usable again the number of respondents supportive of using recycled water jumped to 89 percent. Though these are just statistics of people who are merely supportive of using recycled water and not an actual plan to implement the use of recycled water it is important to remember that support is the first steps. It is only though the support of these residents of California that we can hope to make progress in more sustainable measures in this drought.
Personally as a resident in California myself, these statistics are quite encouraging that people would be interested in implementing the use of recycled water. As residents in California the drought has impacted our lives in one way or another, whether that has been having to cut down your water usage or simply paying for high prices in local supermarkets for produce, we all are in this together and as a community it is our job to take these steps to create more sustainable and environmental friendly measures to get through not only this drought ,but future ones too.
