The speaker who was opposed to reuse had no idea what she was talking about. Water can be reused for any application with appropriate treatment and finished quality. The treatment and quality specifications are determined by the end use and human contact potential. The World Health Organization released guidelines for direct and indirect potable reuse. You can find them on line at www.who.int/water reuse. There are numerous large scale reuse projects in operation and many more being planned.
