No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

That IF is doing quite a bit of work there …
And again IF the water is treated…
Yes. If those are both done then there is little issue
In some parts of Phoenix AZ , they use the treated grey water to water grass golf courses
The issue is really when there are heavy rains and the treatment facilities are overwhelmed and RAW sewage gets dumped into the river In other places there is insufficient or no treatment and again raw sewage goes into the river where the next town downstream needs to use the river water for drinking
Using grey water for agriculture / irrigation purposes is pretty common. It's why they tell you not to drink (or make sun tea) from the sprinkler water.
Yeah, that's why combined sewer and stormwater systems have fallen out of use (and are illegal in most places now). That used to be a much bigger problem, but thankfully, most places have separated those systems and made it illegal to discharge stormwater into the sanitary sewers. My house still has the old connections where the gutter downspouts tied into the sewer line (house is from the 50s), but they're capped with concrete.
im not sure if they ever happens here. They have overflow areas and those get dumped with a bunch of chlorine added. So its not totally raw but its not properly treated. They also have seperate rain water and sewer so the overflow is not sewage but they still treat it because it can still pick up all sorts of stuff from roads and surfaces and such. If the overflows don't get overwhelmed then it gets full treatment before being let into the watershed. Which basically means enough time is given for the chlorine to work. Granted they spent a bundle for the public works to get this done and prevent flooding. Not that im complaining as that is why I like where I live. You get all this talk about folks running from the area due to high taxes but you know im fine with high taxes and a well managed watershed, public spaces, public services, and such. disclaimer. I am not a watershed expert and don't work for the water district so this is just my understanding from the various things that pop up on it (you would be surprised the information you get if you actually read your water bill and such)
