Interpretation of dali48 in 2009 + update

No federal regulations on hydrofracking, immunity from liability should drinking water become polluted and cash-strapped state governments willing to gamble irreplaceable drinking water supplies for the lure of short-term gas revenues ... (by Jim Gennaro, Queens Chronicle)

The years of 1930-1938 were a time of drought throughout the United States (see deserts, etc. - d.48). This time of drought caused one of the largest population shifts in U.S. History ... (by newcapo)

Interpretation of dali48 
Drinking water or potable water is water safe enough to be consumed by humans or used with low risk of immediate or long term harm. In most developed countries, the water supplied to households, commerce and industry meets drinking water standards, even though only a very small proportion is actually consumed or used in food preparation. Typical uses (for other than potable purposes) include toilet flushing, washing and landscape irrigation (why not using second-hand water etc. - d.48)! ...

Reusing water can be dangerous because of the potential for contamination from bacteria, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. 
Contamination from bacteria
Even tap water contains microbes, and bacteria can grow quickly in water bottles. 
The longer water sits in a bottle, the more bacteria can grow. 
Wear and tear from reuse can create cracks and scratches in the bottle where bacteria can grow. 
Contamination from chemicals 
Some plastics may release chemicals into the water, especially when exposed to high temperatures or sunlight.
For example, some type-7 plastics may contain BPA, a chemical that has been linked to endocrine disruption.
Contamination from pharmaceuticals 
Studies have shown that water reuse can cause groundwater contamination with pharmaceutical products.
Second-hand water filters 
You don't know about the quality of water that has flown through the system earlier.
Second-hand water filters may not function as well as new ones, and may provide water that is not completely clean.
WebMD recommends washing plastic water bottles thoroughly and reusing them sparingly. 

Over large parts of the world, humans have inadequate access to potable water and use sources contaminated with disease vectors, pathogens or unacceptable levels of toxins or suspended solids. Drinking or using such water in food preparation leads to widespread acute and chronic illnesses and is a major cause of death and misery in many countries. Reduction of waterborne diseases is a major public health goal in developing countries ...
Water has always been an important and life-sustaining drink to humans and is essential to the survival of all known organisms! - Excluding fat, water composes approximately 70% of the human body by mass. It is a crucial component of metabolic processes and serves as a solvent for many bodily solutes. The United States Environmental Protection Agency in risk assessment calculations assumes that the average American adult ingests 2.0 litres per day. Drinking water of a variety of qualities is bottled. Bottled water is sold for public consumption throughout the world ...
Over 2 billion more people used improved drinking water sources in 2010 than did in 1990. However, the job is far from finished. 780 million people are still without improved sources of drinking water, and many more still lack safe drinking water! ...
In the U.S, the typical nonconserving single family home uses 262 L of water per capita per day! - In some parts of the country there are water supplies that are dangerously low due to drought, particularly in the West and the South East region of the U.S.!
Solar water disinfection is a low-cost method of purifying water that can often be implemented with locally available materials! ...
One organisation working to improve the availability of safe drinking water in some the world's poorest countries is WaterAid International. Operating in 26 countries, WaterAid is working to make lasting improvements to peoples' quality of life by providing long-term sustainable access to clean water! ...
60 million people are estimated to have been poisoned by well water contaminated by excessive fluoride, which dissolved from granite rocks. The effects are particularly evident in the bone deformations of children ...

Over 90% of deaths from diarrheal diseases in the developing world today occur in children under 5 years old. Malnutrition, especially protein-energy malnutrition, can decrease the children's resistance to infections, including water-related diarrheal diseases! ...
Improved water supply reduces diarrhea morbidity by 25% and improvements in drinking water through proper storage in the home and chlorination reduces diarrhea episodes by 39%! ...
Microbial pathogenic parameters are typically of greatest concern because of their immediate health risk!
In 2006, waterborne diseases were estimated to cause 1.8 million deaths each year while about 1.1 billion people lacked proper drinking water! ...
There is increasing concern over the health effects of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) released into the natural environment ...
Access to safe drinking water is indicated by proper sanitary sources! ...
In emergency situations when conventional treatment systems have been compromised, water borne pathogens may be killed or inactivated by boiling! ...
Other techniques, such as filtration, chemical disinfection, and exposure to ultraviolet radiation (including solar UV) have been demonstrated in an array of randomized control trials to significantly reduce levels of water-borne disease! ... (Wikipedia)

Filtration, chemical disinfection, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation are all techniques used to control the spread of microorganisms and viruses. 
Filtration 
Can be used to remove some types of particles, but viruses are difficult to remove due to their small size
Slow sand filters are an exception to the difficulty of removing viruses by filtration
Chemical disinfection 
Can be used to control the spread of microorganisms and viruses
However, there can be shortages of consumer chemical disinfectants
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation 
Can be used to disinfect water, air, and surfaces
UV radiation can damage the eyes and skin, so human exposure must be avoided
UV radiation is highly efficient at controlling microbial growth in any medium
Solar UV disinfection (SODIS)
A simple and inexpensive way to disinfect drinking water 
SODIS involves exposing water to sunlight in transparent containers 
SODIS is effective for eliminating microbial pathogens and reducing diarrheal illness 
SODIS is widely used in developing countries in Asia, Latin America, and Africa 

Amount of water needed for production (Water Ratio): 1 car = 380 000 liters (see drinking water, - why not using "second hand" water for the production of cars etc. - that is, for me: the car is ... with respect to the water balance, etc. - d.48), 1 kg of paper = 400 - 1000 liters, 1 kg of steel = 25 - 200 liters, 1 kg oil = 180 liters, 1 can of beer = 40 liters, 1 liter of beer = 20 liters ... Compost toilets: 1 / 3 less water consumption, 40% less household waste! ... (W. Pieper)

A car's water footprint is between 52,000 and 83,000 liters, or 13,737–21,926 gallons, according to watercalculator.org. Washing a car can use between 100 and 300 liters of water (why not reusing water for cars, toilet etc., see e.g. combination of hand-wash & toilet water in Japan in 1978 etc. - d.48)! ...
Explanation
The water footprint of an item is the amount of water used to produce it. 
Washing a car is a common part of car maintenance, but it can use a lot of water. 
You can save water when washing your car by being mindful of how much water you use!
