Is that urine even detectable in 38 million gallons of water? I'm sure that there was a lot of other stuff in the water prior to the urine.
Right -- like waterfowl don't swim in it, or bird droppings landing in it during flyovers? Runoff containing animal fecal matter after rain storms? Dead critter bodies winding up in it? Animals sticking their faces in it while drinking?
I hate to break it to you folks but the earth is billions of years old and the water we have today is the only water the earth has ever had so chances are the water I used to make the tea I'm drinking right now was peed out by a dinosaur and lots of other things.
True enough. But more water is formed through processes like metabolism and also the burning of materials such as fossil fuels (more than just CO2 is produced, the hydrogen in the hydrocarbons has to go somewhere...), and water is consumed by processes such as photosynthesis.
One thing that concerns me is that if it is so easy to urinate in public water supplies it is just as easy to poison them or dump some other toxic contaminants into the reservoir.
Lol, exactly. People who complain about spring water have it all wrong. Even though dead animals, bacteria and some urine is in the water doesn't mean anything. The water has to meet EPA standards and thus is filtered to those standards.
Was he drunk. Public urination is usually due to drinking too much. Although for young kids it could sometimes be due to extreme cold. I peed in my pants while walking through Chicago in January as a child.
