Abstract

Gives technical guidance regarding the use of treated municipal wastewater as a potable water source. Provides regulators and utilities with guidance to assess the feasibility and desirability of potable reuse projects as a means of supplementing water supplies. Includes recommendations for future research. Research partners: NWRI and USEPA. The Foundation did not publish a final report. However, the NRC published this work in 1998 as Issues in Potable Reuse: The Viability of Augmenting Drinking Water Supplies With Reclaimed Water (ISBN 0-309-06416-3).
