I live in a city with extremely hard water. It's all surface run-off, but still hard. There are two ways to get lime into your water. You can run the water through limestone like many wells. Or you can grind the rock up very fine and mix it with your water. The beautiful pale blue of so many lakes in the Rockies comes from glacier-ground rock mixed into the water. Not relevant to "The Martian" or otherwise at all related to terraforming Mars, but I find it interesting. -- We are geeks. Resistance is voltage over current.
