Some people think our economy will be damaged when the U.S. population plateaus (because parents are finding large families too expensive). But if you look at countries with serious overpopulation problems like Haiti and Rwanda, it's obvious that when the population exceeds the available resources, the economy crashes. Any economists out there who can clarify the relationship between population size and the health of an economy? Asked by Benson - Wed Jul 25 09:52:36 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A.

Q. The water we drink comes from upstream places. I would like to know what proportion of the upstream population's urine we drink. This is the water that comes from sewage treatment plants.

It would not be detectable, except after an accident. The water is purified before being put back in the river. Depending on the place we are talking about you could be drinking water resulting from the use by >95% of the people. It would include all household uses including the water from bathing, washing, and laundry. See the references on how it works. There would be a greater amount of animal urine than human when they take it out of the river. Again, before use, it is purified again.
