“Water Resource Recovery Facilities….it isn’t simply wastewater treatment and disposal anymore.”
This presentation will look at water scarcity including pressure from population growth and distribution; provide statistics about how much usable water there is available and how it is being used; discuss the importance of reusing water to the maximum extent possible, and beneficially recovering and using other resources from wastewater including nitrogen, phosphorous, energy, and organic biosolids. Examples of how and where this is being done will be presented. Roadblocks to potable reuse, such as compounds of emerging concern and negative public perception will also be explored.
