•Article in the LA Times – UC researchers have determined that California has issued water rights that amount to roughly five times the state's average annual runoff

Potential for Water Reuse• About 7% of municipal wastewater effluent in the U.S. is reclaimed and beneficially reused
• Israel reuses more than 70%
• Singapore reuses 30%, up from 15% in recent years
• Australia, now at 8%, has a national goal of 30% by 2015

•Drought•Population growth•Increased municipal, industrial, and agricultural demand•Dependence on single source of supply•TMDLs/Nutrient load caps
Factors Driving Water Reuse Today
“Water scarcity”
No one strategy can solve the future water needs of the state, so the portfolios include different mixes of strategies, such as conservation, reuse, agricultural transfers, and new water supply development. Colorado Water Conservation Board, 2012

Provides local, climate-independent,sustainable supply for the environment, agriculture, industry AND people• The need has never been greater• Shift in climate• Greater awareness of
environmental/downstream concerns• Existing treatment systems are
protective• Treatment technologies have been proven• Continued technological advancement• Significant research to ensure reliability

To overcome the regulatory, scientific, technical, and attitudinal barriers to DPR by undertaking three main tasks:• Conduct rigorous scientific research• Communicate the research findings through public awareness programs•Work with regulatory authorities to facilitate DPR implementation by local water utilities•>US $6 million raised to date, leveraged (so far) $12M
Research Path to Achieve DPR Initiative Goal

How do we achieve treatment and process reliability through redundancy, robustness,
and resilience?
Regulatory Concerns
Community Concerns
Utility Concerns
How do we address the
economic and technical
feasibility of DPR?
How do we train operators to run these advanced
systems?
How do we increase public
awareness of the water cycle and
illustrate the safety of DPR to
lead to acceptance?
