- Don't Waste that Wastewater! Setting Treatment Targets for Potable Reuse
Ever wonder how we determine the level of treatment needed to ensure drinking water is safe? What if we're starting with raw sewage?
This episode takes a "deep dive" into indirect (IPR) and direct potable reuse (DPR)--essentially turning wastewater back into drinking water. This episode describes how treatment targets are established and how the approach differs throughout the United States. Specifically, the episode highlights how California has been a leader in potable reuse implementation and whether other states are following in their footsteps.

About Science from the Tap
From the publisher's feed
What are the emerging challenges facing the water industry? How do we know when drinking water is safe, and how do we measure and remove the contaminants that make it unsafe? How do we sustain…
communities in some of the driest places on the planet?
Here you'll find AI-generated "podcasts" (produced by Google's NotebookLM) that summarize Dr. Daniel Gerrity's peer-reviewed scientific publications on these topics. As with human podcast hosts, "Chad" and "Beth" don't always get the science exactly correct, but they do a pretty good job of making this science accessible to the public.
Bio: Dan Gerrity has a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from Arizona State University and is a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Nevada. Dan's research primarily focuses on the public health implications of water reuse, which is critically important for sustaining communities in water scarce regions. Dan has worked in industry, as a tenured Associate Professor at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV), and now as a research scientist at a drinking water utility in Las Vegas.
