Water Water Everywhere, All the Drops to Drink

Till now I have listed three items cheaper here compared to India-petrol, cooking gas and coke. Bottled water costs twice as much as in India. The supply of water to the entire country for domestic use is by desalination.

Desalination is a power consuming process, but they have no alternative here .The water bill to the domestic user is certainly more that in India but for the standard of living here this amount is quite normal.

In my daughter’s house they have an interesting water making machine called waterex. It has a pump, refrigerator, heating coil and a ultra violet purification system. The machine operates continuously, pumping ambient air ,cooling it and condensing the water, purifying it and storing it .It dispenses cool, normal or hot water on demand. It displays the ambient relative humidity level. Normally RH here is 35%.The water collection is quite appreciable. The water is absolutely pure.
