Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the the increasing popularity of and need for water reuse throughout the Southwestern United States and the issues involved in using reclaimed water for direct human contact. Reports that research has been done on reclaimed water to alleviate the concerns about the quality of the water, finding that "irrigation with reclaimed water can produce high quality good crops and the quality of reclaimed water used to augment potable supplies is generally as good as that of existing local raw water supplies." States that "reclaimed water now is used more often as an alternative water supply for nonpotable uses...[and] such developments lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to update and supplement the EPA Guidelines for Water Reuse document." Mentions the increase in Florida's water reuse activities as well as the development of 80 new projects to recycle treated sewage. Discusses the impact recycling waste could have on the world, stating "if recycling of the waste is considered, the cost of providing treatment is significantly reduced and can provide tremendous economic benefit to the community." Also discusses the benefits of land treating wastewater, stating "recently there has been renewed interest in land application of food processing wastewater because of its cost-effectiveness and its ability to treat wastewater constituents effectively." |
