    Cleaning our drinking water is quite a complicated process. I think it’s pointless to just waste all that energy because you can afford to. And with seasonal droughts becoming more and more common in Europe…

      Here in Sweden we seldom carry water when out camping in our inland, there is so much clean water comming out of the ground that it is unneeded.

      This is changing, but still mostly accurate.

        Unfortunately, there’s more to clean water than just the source.

        Waste water needs to be cleaned in a complicated multi step process

          We were talking about drinking water, not waste treatment. Two very different processes.

      Lol cleaning drinking water in countries like Sweden is not complicated or energy intensive.

        Ever wondered what happens with the waste water?

            It needs to be cleaned too. And the treatment facility doesn’t differentiate between water + excrement and water that was clean. Sewage is sewage.

            You know what happens when there is no sewage handling infrastructure.
