| Abstract/Contents: | Overviews water recycling practices in Texas, focusing on the San Antonio Water System (SAWS), which relies on the Edwards Aquifer for its water supply and which "supplies up to 35,000 acre-feet of water per year for nonpotable uses such as irrigation for golf courses and parks, and cooling for power plants and factories." Explains that "wastewater is run through an advanced secondary treatment process, during which contaminants are removed through physical means, as well as methods that work biologically and chemically." Notes that "since the discharges of recycled water began in 2000, the health of local aquatic ecosystems has improved markedly." Concludes that "the water system also has a comprehensive conservation program, with rebates for water-saving landscapes and irrigation systems and even free water-efficient toilets." |
