crops using recycled water are cotton grower on the gold coast,
Australia's lettuces in Werribee west of Melbourne,Gold Coast
cane grower Kevin Mischke. the pros given by the farmers are
.recycled water is $1000 cheaper per megalitre
.the recycled water has made a huge diference to their farms
.68 per cent of consumers were fine with eating fruit and
vegetables that were grown with recycled water
the cons given by the farmers are
.if food is not treated properly it could be health damaging.
.recycled water is not liked because of what could be in it.
.many think it is cheaper there for better but it is cheap but dangerous.
i would not eat fruit or vegetables grown with recycled water.
for example i dont know what was in the water and if the food
is not rinsed properly it could damage our health.
CONS
With less water it left some farmers looking at using recycled water as the main option for keeping their operations going. Farmers growing around 60 per cent of Australia's lettuces in Werribee (west of Melbourne) have been told that there is almost no water left for their operations. 60 per cent of the people, who do use the water, is purely for financial reasons.
PROS
1.Recycled water was almost $1,000 cheaper per megalitre to use.
2.Very happy to use recycled water.
3.68 per cent of consumers were favorable to consuming fruit and vegetables, over 70 per cent for dairy and 74 per cent for vineyards with this water.
4.No health effects recorded as long as the foods were treated properly, such as washing lettuce leaves grown in this water before being eaten.
These are crops being grown by using recycled water.
01. Cotton
02. Cane
03. Fruit
04. Vegetables
I would eat fruit and vegetables grown using recycled water because of the following reasons:
-The world is running out of water.
-Once the water has been treated it's probably just normal water and doesn't have any contamination.
-Not to use it would be a waste of one of the most important resource on earth.
In some places recycled water is the only water available to grow crops with and it cannot be wasted.

I would eat fruit and vegetables grown using recycled water because:
1.Water is running out and being wasted by people.
2.We don't want to waste any more water.
3.Not to use the recycled water would be a waste of one of the most important things on earth.

1. cotton
2.vegtables
3.fruit
4.and cane
i would eat fruit and vegtables that have been watered by recycled water because recycled water is about $1,000 cheaper and it makes a differents to farms and farmers.
there has been no reported evidence of any one getting sick from drinking recycled water and all of the fruit and vegtables are washed before they are sent to the markets.
there for i would eat and drink recycled water because it is cleaned and it does help our crops grow.it isn't fully rinsed properly but it is healthy and i will drink it.
i know that this is a bit late but nowi have got internet on my laptop and i can now properly send my home work. my home computer didn't send home work properly and now i have my laptop.
