It would not be detectable, except after an accident. The water is purified before being put back in the river. Depending on the place we are talking about you could be drinking water resulting from the use by >95% of the people. It would include all household uses including the water from bathing, washing, and laundry. See the references on how it works. There would be a greater amount of animal urine than human when they take it out of the river. Again, before use, it is purified again.

Grog is wrong. There is definitely a minimum requirement. Just the transportation issue necessary to turn raw goods into finished products requires that we have a minimum supply of people in the various places where the materials are mined and produced, plus a bunch to move it from one place to another, maintain roads, etc. I don't know if anyone's calculated it, but there are two ways to approach it.
