Australians have been warned they face a
life or death decision over their water - drink recycled sewage (污水) or die.
With the drought (干旱) continuing, the country is set to be
forced to use purified (净化的) waste water
for drinking, even though there is great opposition to the measure.
Queensland has become the first state to introduce the
policy after a warning from its premier.
"I think in the end, because of the
drought, all of Australia
is going to end up drinking recycled purified water," said Peter Beattie.
"These are difficult decisions, but
you either drink water or you die. There's no choice. It's liquid gold, it's a
matter of life and death."
Beattie said Australia's second largest state
would become the first to use recycled water for drinking.
Water is recycled in Britain and parts of northern Europe along with
the US and Israel.
But Australians have never liked the idea.
To try to change the way Australians think,
Prime Minister John Howard and Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull have adhered
to Queensland's
move.
"I am very strongly for recycling and
Mr. Beattie is right and I agree with him completely," Howard said.
“Australian cities, all now facing water
shortages because of the worst drought on record, must start to use recycled
water.” added Turnbull, "All of our big cities have to widen the range of
water sources to include sources which are not dependent on rainfall."
