From supporting agriculture and attracting industry to augmenting drinking water supplies and recharging aquifers, recycled water is being used to address a diverse set of water resource challenges.Īs we continue the conversation on our nation’s infrastructure needs, it is critical that we keep water reuse in the picture as a critical infrastructure need that is helping local economies thrive in the 21 st century. Water reuse, also referred to as water recycling, is not just a tool used in the arid West to address water scarcity, but a way for communities to better manage their local water resources to help spur economic growth and plan for the future. Communities across the country are increasingly harnessing the transformative and economic value of recycled water. Please join us for a congressional briefing discussing the growing importance of water reuse in how we manage our water resources.
