Abstract

This study was undertaken in the context of increasing diversity of water supplies (groundwater, recycled water, desalination, traditional stored water supplies, and potentially potable reuse) to ensure water security. The project explores the future of purple pipes (nonpotable recycled water reticulation/distribution systems) in Australia and the United States over the next 10 to 20 years.

Originally funded as WERF project Reuse-10-14.
