OverviewExpanding water reuse--the use of treated wastewater for beneficial purposes including irrigation, industrial uses, and drinking water augmentation--could significantly increase the nation's total available water resources. Water Reuse presents a portfolio of treatment options available to mitigate water quality issues in reclaimed water along with new analysis suggesting that the risk of exposure to certain microbial and chemical contaminants from drinking reclaimed water does not appear to be any higher than the risk experienced in at least some current drinking water treatment systems, and may be orders of magnitude lower. This report recommends adjustments to the federal regulatory framework that could enhance public health protection for both planned and unplanned (or de facto) reuse and increase public confidence in water reuse.-- Full Product DetailsAuthor: Committee on the Assessment of Water Reuse as an Approach to Meeting Future Water Supply Needs , National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press Imprint: National Academies Press ISBN: 9780309224598ISBN 10: 0309224594 Pages: 200 Publication Date: 31 December 2012 Audience: College/higher education , Professional and scholarly , Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly , Professional & Vocational Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Not yet available ![]() This item is yet to be released.
