These four states have several common challenges to providing reliable water supplies: rapid population growth, severe long term drought conditions, and dwindling or overallocated natural water sources. Indirect potable reuse is currently practiced in these states, often through managed groundwater replenishment or incidental means. Is engineered potable reuse the next step to building safe, reliable, and resilient water resource portfolios? While water utilities in the Four Corners states take steps toward direct potable reuse (DPR), each of these states face different implementation challenges. This panel delves into the progress and issues regarding DPR in the region. |
