[p2p-research] land multipliers

[Ryan Lanham]

I wonder why it is cheaper to process water in cities than to pipe it out?

I mean, what's the difference between water and food?  Water is cheaper per
unit weight, but it easier to transport.  Why not purify water far away and
train it in to cities?  Perhaps it is because sewage would need to be
trained out.
