Water Reuse
Paralyzing drought and environmental impacts on water supplies across the U.S. sunbelt—from Florida to California—have thrust wastewater reuse into the spotlight as a critical solution to minimize long-term risks to state water supplies. Today, only 6.4% of wastewater flows in the U.S. are reused for industrial, irrigation, or municipal purposes, highlighting the expansion potential.
