| Abstract |
The survey identified 358 sites at which direct reuse of municipal wastewater was being practiced. Detailed data were gathered on volume, effluent quality, treatment, reliability and economics. It was found that direct reuse of municipal wastewater was not widespread accounting for less than 2% of this nation's water use in 1972. Irrigation and industrial cooling account for virtually all of this reuse. Only three sites practice reuse for recreational lakes, and one for nonpotable domestic use. Potable reuse is not presently practiced. General quality standards could not be derived for any category. In fact, water which is substandard according to published criteria is being successfully used in many reuse situations by fitting the water quality to the specific local condition. Overall economic analysis was also difficult. Storage and distance between supplier and consumer were more important considerations than quality and treatment. In general, the supplier undercharged the consumer because reuse was viewed as an inexpensive disposal technique. There is significant potential for an increase in reuse of wastewater in all categories; increased publicity concerning successful reuse is required to initiate this increase. |
