Did you know the #California #water year is from 10/1-9/30, not 1/1-12/31? Very important distinction by @PeterGleick http://t.co/M8pn3Vjn51

Also, not sure if $1.5m plant w/ 84k l/d cap (~637 people in India, avg; +poop from 100k people) capacity makes sense. #Omniprocessor #water

[Seigi Karasaki @seigik]

From poop to #potable: #Omniprocessor maybe great for #hygiene, #water, but is poop-burning really clean? @atrembath http://t.co/BYcmZ47Krd
