The Texas Water Journal has published a new article in Volume 15, titled Water Reuse in the Hill Country: Lessons from Existing Reuse Facilities in Texas and Opportunities to Advance Reuse in Comal County, by Rachel N. Hanes.
Hanes examines the opportunities present in the Texas Hill Country to use recycled water to alleviate the pressure on regional aquifers by focusing on the present state of recycled water use in Comal County, Texas. The impacts of population growth, prolonged drought, and wastewater disposal on water sources in Comal County are analyzed along with current sources of water reuse to show where recycled water can be utilized effectively. Reclaimed water systems in seven municipalities across Texas are analyzed as case studies to provide examples for further implementation.
