Impact/Purpose:
Fact sheet to share information on EPA's onsite non-potable water reuse research.
Description:
There is an increasing demand for sufficient quantities of water in many parts of the United States. Increasing pressures on water resources has led to greater water scarcity and a demand to finding alternative water sources. In response, many communities have initiated or are developing treatment systems for planned water reuse (also known as fit-for-purpose water reuse), including recycling of reclaimed water, stormwater runoff, and wastewater. Although there are several types of water reuse, this fact sheet is focused on EPA's onsite non-potable water reuse research. This fit-for purpose water reuse is one solution that can help communities reclaim, recycle, and then reuse water for non-drinking water purposes.
