Several projects I'm associated with are exploring how to tap impaired groundwater for use as potential drinking water sources.  The groundwater is highly contaminated with a variety of both organic and inorganic constituents -- the ultimate result of remedial investigation and risk assessment will be the construction of  treatment plants specifically designed to decrease concentrations of these compounds to acceptable levels.  Clearly, this isn't a solution for all cities because of the expense, but it does point to the determination to utilize every drop of water, no matter how seemingly unusable it might be.  These challenges will only increase in the future, and it's our job as consultants to find creative solutions.
