Need for Direct and Indirect Potable Water Reuse Specifications

摘要

IPR and DPR are not major issues in many states, but they are significant under circumstances in which water availability is a major concern. Water availability concerns will likely increase. In addition, the public is developing a sense of the need to implement concepts that are more sustainable, more efficient, and less environmentally damaging, and wastewater recycling is an opportunity to accomplish those ends. Lack of public and regulator familiarity with reuse is also an impediment to more widespread wastewater reuse.
