Usable water is the water we can drink and use for our daily uses, and unusable water is the ocean's water, sewage water and water trapped in ice! :)

Where does waste water go?

That depends where you live: Some places require the waste to go to a public sewer and then on to a waste-treatment center for proper disposal; other places allow the waste to enter the groundwater or lakes or rivers or oceans. And there are other places where it is just buried in the ground, or captured in a large pit. Regarding the sewerage on ships, it is either taken back to a port for disposal, or dumped at sea. And in spacecrafts, the sewerage is brought back to earth, neatly packed in plastic non-leaking bags.

What is oxygen sag?

Oxygen sag is a dip in the amount of dissolved oxygen in a body of water. This can be caused by several things, ranging from a drop in water flow to an increase in waste in the water. Occasionally when waste is introduced into a body of water, bacteria will begin to consume the waste. As they consume the waste, the bacteria use up oxygen, causing the overall amount of oxygen in the water to drop. In some cases, the waste itself will consume oxygen without an bacteria. Oxygen sag can lead to massive die-offs of oxygen-breathing aquatic creatures, such as fish, crustaceans and mollusks.


Is it a waste to drill for water in the desert?

Drilling for water anywhere can be a waste of time if you use by-guess-and-by-golly methods to figure out where to drill. Science makes it much more probable that you'll find water. Using the Sahara as an example, there are sandstone formations under parts of th desert that are rich sources of water. These areas have been mapped and can be exploited. They have been known since the 1800's and writen about in Popular Science Monthly Volume 16 February 1880 (1880) Artesian Wells and the Great Sahara by Seaton Schroeder
