This wouldn't be a problem if people didn't insist on building cities in desert...just saying.
If people build in deserts then they have to be willing to adapt as these folks have.
They should be distilling the treated water. That way it is completely clean - like rainwater without the dust from the atmosphere.
That's just a massive waste of energy.

"Most cities in Texas draw their water from rivers and artificial lakes, which means they're generally drinking water that's been used upstream. Fort Worth and Dallas, for example, discharge their treated wastewater into the Trinity River, which supplies part of Houston."
It's almost as if you can reuse water.
So long as it's in 1 litre bottles.
Isn't Las vegas headed down the same path?
Every city in the desert is headed down that same path. Phoenix is another one that's doomed. When population growth outpaces the technology to provide water for said growing population, it's doomed. Something the ancient Natives who lived in the area learned the hard way as well.
