ABSTRACT

This paper demonstrates the development of indirect potable reuse (IPR) in the United States. A legislative review and a survey of plants show that IPR is becoming an integral part of water reclamation. Public resistance is the limiting factor to its development while technology is not.

Keywords: California; indirect potable reuse; institutional barriers; membranes; water reclamation
