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 Coastal flooding, sewer overflow, and outdated infrastructure just to name a few.
In this webcast, you will hear from our co-host, New England Water Environment Association, about the history, practices, and challenges of water reuse in the Northeast. We will then dive into two case studies of successful water recycling projects in the area, including the origins of the project, the partnerships, public outreach, funding, and permit considerations.
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.
