US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s Post

📢 Announcing a funding opportunity for Water Researchers! Help ensure clean and safe drinking water and better our understanding of the impacts, risk and strategies of de facto #WaterReuse. De facto water reuse is when a community draws water from a river or reservoir that includes some fraction of treated wastewater from upstream communities. To learn how to apply for this #WaterReuse funding opportunity, register to attend our July 11 informational webinar ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eGwF_Ew6 Learn more about de facto water reuse ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eeBjsyR5

We installed a water reuse system in a beef plant in Calgary Canada. The plant had been shut down for 10 years and had lost its water rights. The plant used 750,000 gallons of water per day we found a company that had been developing a water reuse system that would give us better water quality than the county could provide. They figured that the payback would be around 5 years. This system not only gave us better water it reclaimed much of the heat from the 5 process boilers. I believe this will be the future of waste water treatment. When you build a subdivision you will put the plant in a house that matches the surroundings. In stead of pumping waste water 20 miles to the treatment facility it is right next to the usage. Most of the water from the plant could be used for irrigation and other domestic uses. The stick water could be used for agriculture. I am now developing pet waste disposal solutions to remove pet waste from the landfills where it lives forever in plastic bags. Your preferred method of disposal is flushing it. I have developed several pet waste systems that will not only remove the poop but also the pee not only for dogs but cat’s too. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The EPA's commitment to advancing research in water reuse is truly commendable. This funding opportunity not only supports innovations in clean water technology but also fosters a deeper understanding of sustainability practices.
