Webinar on the State of the Science for Single Family Water Reuse Applications

Water is a defining issue of our time. Cities across the world are rethinking the traditional linear approach to water systems in the face of drought, extreme weather, and associated impacts on water quantity and quality. Reuse of alternative water sources for a variety of non-potable end uses is increasingly employed at a range of scales. The National Alliance for Water Innovation (NAWI) recently identified small-scale, distributed treatment systems as one of the biggest opportunities for reuse given avoided energy and infrastructure costs related to transporting water to and from centralized facilities.
