Pharmaceuticals, supply it to microelectronics companies to produce ultrapure water at lower costs than normal, production of soft drinks since distilled water is inspid and tasteless, production of liquor and other alcoholic drinks etc.

Hello firemanspooner

I presume this is otherwise wasted water, as a bypass from other operations.

It really depends on the location of that water, if on land in the Middle East, it would be worth more per litre than oil, In Fiordland, New Zealand it would be worthless, because of the local rainfall exceeding 600 inches per year, and no buyers.

13,600 gallons per day would be sufficient to install a bottled water plant.

Decide on Branding, get the Marketing boys on the job, and sell, sell, sell, glug, glug, glug.

Kind Regards....

Bottle it and sell it. Works for spring water.
