Do you dare to tread the Road to Water Positivity? Before the clock strikes midnight… before Halloween is upon us… make sure to secure your registration for the 2024 Industrial Water Reuse Conference, November 19-21 in Indian Wells, California!

The WateReuse Association and WateReuse Ohio welcome the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. DNR’s Division of Water Resources manages statewide oversight of dams & levees, floodplains, and the collection and management of data related to the state's water resources. The Division’s Water Inventory and Planning Program is responsible for implementing and enforcing Ohio’s rules, regulations, and contracts related to water supply and water resource development. This is accomplished by executing and administering contracts for the sale of state-owned water stored in federal, state and local reservoirs; registering large capacity water users; and collecting, compiling and disseminating water use data for water resources development, planning and management.

The Los Angeles Chargers opened a new headquarters and training facility called “The Bolt” this summer in El Segundo, CA. In early October, the facility began using non-potable recycled water from WateReuse member West Basin Municipal Water District to irrigate the natural grass practice fields and other landscaping areas. West Basin recognized the LA Chargers leadership for their commitment to environmental sustainability with a District proclamation presented to the team’s executive staff.

WateReuse Texas recently published a video introducing the public and prospective members to the wide range of projects, advocacy, and education taking place in the state. “The clear message from WateReuse Texas is ‘you are not in this alone,’” says El Paso Water’s Communications & Marketing Manager and current WateReuse Texas President Christina Montoya-Halter. “We are here to support you. We want to help you grow that other resource for your community.”

Join us on November 7, when WateReuse Association will co-host a webcast with the New England Water Environment Association about Water Reuse Practices and Approaches in the Northeast. Water is abundant and droughts are rare in the Northeast United States, so what are the region’s drivers for water recycling? Coastal flooding, sewer overflow, and outdated infrastructure just to name a few. Learn about the history, practices, and challenges of water reuse in the Northeast, including three case studies of successful water recycling projects in the area. The webcast will conclude with a presentation from Seatuck Environmental Association and IMEG – two organizations that were instrumental in crafting & advocating for the Long Island Water Reuse Roadmap & Action Plan. This roadmap is one of the first strategic water reuse plans passed in New England. The webcast takes place at 2:00 pm Eastern Time, 11:00 am Pacific Time.

Water reuse is a principal solution to the challenges of water access, affordability, and resiliency. Water recycling programs throughout the nation successfully help mitigate the water supply consequences of climate change, ensure broader water accessibility and affordability, particularly in disadvantaged communities, and support economic stability and growth. WateReuse Association’s policy brief on these interrelated solutions is a helpful tool to share with local decision makers and the public.

West Columbia, South Carolina

Water recycling is common in desert states, but newly growing as a solution in South Carolina. As the regulatory and policy landscape unfolds, how do we gain support across South Carolina for beneficially reusing water in a water-rich area? This workshop will present relevant research on communicating about water reuse and develop a framework and best practices for engaging community groups on water reuse projects, specific to the South Carolina context.

Co-presented by WateReuse South Carolina, Water Research Foundation, SCAWWA, & WEASC.
