Water recycling, reuse could dramatically slash cities’ need for fresh water resources, research shows

Posted by in categories: futurism, sustainability

Using Houston as a model, researchers at Rice’s Brown School of Engineering have developed a plan that could reduce the need for surface water (from rivers, reservoirs or wells) by 28% by recycling wastewater to make it drinkable once again.

While the cost of energy needed for future advanced purification systems would be significant, they say the savings realized by supplementing fresh water shipped from a distance with the “direct potable reuse” of municipal wastewater would more than make up for the expense.

And the water would be better to boot.

The shocking case of Amanda Berry, 27, Gina DeJesus, 27, and Michele Knight, 32, all of whom were abducted as long as 11 years ago, provides fresh hope for parents still grappling with their own child’s disappearance.

Thousands of people go missing in the United States each year and many are never heard from again.

According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, roughly 800,000 children are reported missing each year in the United States — that’s roughly 2,000 per day. Of those, there are 115 child “stranger abduction” cases each year, which means the child was taken by an unknown person.
