The WateReuse Research Foundation’s 2012 Annual Report details a year of incredible success. Fifteen new research projects were commissioned, total­ing nearly $2.6 million in contract awards. In addition to increasing the body of scientific research, adding to the library of reports and data, and introducing new edu­cational programs, the Foundation has established itself as the leading authority to address dir­ect potable reuse (DPR) in California, the results of which will have national implications as water scarcity has impact­ed most of the US in recent years.
