Abstract

Water resource shortages are a problem that are plaguing the world. Wastewater recycling and reuse may be the solution to this worldwide problem. Recycled and properly treated wastewater is a safe alternative source for irrigation, industry, groundwater recharge, and miscellaneous subpotable uses. The biggest problem with wastewater recycling and reuse is the concern for potential health risks. Currently, there are wastewater recycling and reuse projects in Singapore, Israel, Colorado, California, Florida as well as others. While California leads the way in developing regulations for wastewater recycling and reuse and the US EPA has developed a manual on water reuse criteria, much debate exists regarding regulations, uses and appropriate levels.
