Expanding water reuse-the use of treated wastewater for beneficial purposes including irrigation, industrial uses, and drinking water augmentation-could significantly increase the nation's total available water resources. Water Reuse presents a portfolio of treatment options available to mitigate water quality issues in reclaimed water along with new analysis suggesting that the risk of exposure to certain microbial and chemical contaminants from drinking reclaimed water does not appear to be any higher than the risk experienced in at least some current drinking water treatment systems, and may be orders of magnitude lower. This report recommends adjustments to the federal regulatory framework that could enhance public health protection for both planned and unplanned (or de facto) reuse and increase public confidence in water reuse.

A project to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of recycling water under operating conditions was performed in the Hemet-San Jacinto Valley of the State of California. Since the Valley is a closed basin, and is dependent in part upon imported water, it was felt that recycling of the water would ultimately lead to a reduction in the salt input and resultant degradation of the existing underground reservoir. The project added considerable knowledge and experience to the technology of intermittent wastewater percolation and associated monitoring techniques. A novel feature of the project was the employment of highly sensitive temperature probes to trace the lateral migration of the recharged water, much of which appears to be escaping as shallow underflow to the San Jacinto River and hence not reaching the deep groundwater table.

This book introduces readers to environmental background investigation, pollution source intensity evaluation and risk assessment approaches used at three main types of groundwater-contaminated sites: municipal domestic waste landfills, hazardous waste landfills and oil-contaminated sites. In addition, typical contaminated sites throughout China are examined to demonstrate how these approaches can be applied for their investigation, assessment and restoration. By reading this book, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the restoration and management of typical groundwater-contaminated sites.
