Increasing interest in using reclaimed water to augment potable water resources has prompted many important questions about levels of treatment, monitoring, and testing to ensure the safety of the water. This book answers those questions and more." "Written for water professionals and urban planners, Using Reclaimed Water discusses indirect potable reuse as an integral part of integrated water resources management; pertinent health and regulatory issues; treatment technologies and challenges; and system design and reliability. The final chapter focuses on the importance of public perception and how to address consumer concerns." "Using Reclaimed Water Resources to Augment Potable Water Resources is a valuable inference for any water planner who needs to increase water supplies for tomorrow or ensure water quantity and quality today." --Book Jacket.
