Current plans for the US space station are to recycle as much waste water as possible to reduce shuttle resupply requirements. Fluid behavior in space differs markedly from that in a gravity-dominated environment. The general environmental engineering sector should become familiar with waste water recycle in the microgravity of zero-G environment. The author discuss the behavior of water based on its physical properties in microgravity.
