Texas: East Fork Water Reuse Project Provides Education during Wetlands Month
May is American Wetlands Month and a WateReuse Association member, the North Texas Municipal Water District, is using its East Fork water reuse project to educate the public on how wetlands are used to treat water for reuse. Effluent from the East Fork of the Trinity River is pumped into 2,000 acres of man-made wetlands, where plants and sunlight remove sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorous. The water is eventually pumped to Lavon Lake where it becomes a source for drinking water treatment. Read more.
