Chapter 43.2, Problem 2.3RIA
Summary Introduction
Our planet now has over 7 billion people, and the requirements for clean drinking water and wastewater treatment have become even more demanding. Water reuse is the purification of wastewater so that it can serve as drinking water. This is not just for the developing world; a southern California municipality began operation of one of the largest water reclamation plants in the United States (US) in 2012.there are many active types of research in the field of wastewater treatment.
