BALANCING THE CONSTRAINTS AFFECTING RECLAIMED WATER AQUIFER RECHARGE IN SOUTH MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA

摘要

As a result of increasing water supply demand and more restrictive rules limiting impacts to the regional surface water system in south Florida, use of reclaimed water has become an essential part of water resources management. Stringent state and local surface water nutrient limits have also complicated the use of reclaimed water, with pending U.S Environmental Protection Agency rules further restricting nutrient limits on point source discharges.
