Is this really a problem? Lesseenow, into a 100 cfs stream you're dropping about a liter into 2755 liters. Say it takes 30 seconds to do so. So you've spread your liter into 82,631 liters. After a few dozen yards down the stream, you have some likelihood of getting a molecule or two of that organic matter in a liter. But you filter the water anyway, don't you,,,,,,,, >Walt wrote: >>Also the "pee in the river not on the shore" advise >>given to river runners has cleaned up the campsites and shores. > >What?!?!?! >Someone downstream has to drink from that river!
