History was made at the end of last year when California, USA passed regulations allowing ‘direct potable reuse’. DPR means purified recycled water provided directly into drinking water pipes and distribution systems for the community, without first spending time in an environmental buffer (such as an aquifer or reservoir). The purified recycled water could be added before the conventional water treatment plant, or afterwards (directly into the distribution system).
