The Many Faces of DPR in Texas

Abstract

In a world where high‐quality water resources are becoming increasingly scarce, developing safe new measures for keeping up with soaring water demand is of paramount importance. One such option is to recycle water by treating wastewater to a standard that is suitable for drinking, a practice known as potable reuse. Several categories of potable reuse can be defined, including direct potable reuse, indirect potable reuse, and de facto potable reuse. De facto potable reuse represents the most common of the three forms.
