Engineers don't always drive trains, and trains don't always ride on tracks. For decades, civil and environmental engineers have been designing potable reuse treatment trains to ensure that communities throughout the world have safe and reliable drinking water supplies, even in water-scarce regions. All of these treatment trains successfully convert wastewater into purified drinking water, but they don't always follow the same track.
This episode takes a "deep dive" into potable reuse, providing examples from multiple cities throughout the world, to show how engineers are constantly innovating to ensure that water always comes out of your tap.
