Don't Eat The White Snow Either

Posted by chrisd on from the water-treatment-is-good dept.

loteck writes "An interesting article about an Australian ski resort that is converting human waste into freshly driven snow. The waste is converted "through a three-step purifying process of UV light filtration, ozonation and ultra-filtration", and they say it's "even cleaner than that made from nearby creek water." I think that says more about the creek than it does the waste."

    I'll think you'll find that's due to the fact there IS NO WATER in the nearby creek. You can thank the Snowy Mountains Hydro project for that one.

    If they are going to go through this (no doubt) expensive cleansing process to put this water on the mountain, it must cost them a SHITLOAD to use fresh water to make the snow.

    Actually the term is now "SNOWLOAD".
