Abstract
San Francisco recognized the opportunity to build and manage its city to be more resilient and sustainable with localized (i.e., decentralized) water treatment systems. These onsite water treatment systems capture and treat water for reuse, thereby reducing the use of potable water for non-potable uses such as toilet flushing and irrigation. Critical to the success of treating water onsite was the development of oversight and management program to ensure the protection of public health.
期刊介绍:
Water Security aims to publish papers that contribute to a better understanding of the economic, social, biophysical, technological, and institutional influencers of current and future global water security. At the same time the journal intends to stimulate debate, backed by science, with strong interdisciplinary connections. The goal is to publish concise and timely reviews and synthesis articles about research covering the following elements of water security: -Shortage- Flooding- Governance- Health and Sanitation
