Question

Can anyone explain why some communities might be opposed to treating wastewater and converting it into drinking water?

Answer 1

Treating wastewater can be expensive for starters. A community may not need the water and therefore wouldn't wanna waste their time and money converting it. Some places do not have a storage place for the clean water so they would only be cleaning it to re-pollute it.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A wastewater can be define as the water which is contaminated with pollutants coming from the source of sewage drainage, agricultural irrigational drainage, industrial discharge.

The wastewater can be cleaned and purified by the reclamation process. The process requires technology, which could be expensive, time consuming, skill and labor. This can be the reason why some communities might be opposed to treating wastewater.
