New Awareness Campaign to Benefit WateReuse Foundation
July 6, 2009
Aqua-Aerobic Systems recently announced the Our Green Is Blue global awareness campaign, which will provide support for the WateReuse Foundation's research program while spreading the Our Green is Blue message. For every person who joins the cause (free of charge) at www.ourgreenisblue.com, Aqua-Aerobic Systems will donate $1.00 on their behalf to the WateReuse Foundation. Aqua-Aerobic Systems' goal is to present the Foundation with $10,000 in October, 2009.
New Research Alliance between Foundation and PUB Singapore to Identify Sustainable Water Solutions
May 19, 2009
The WateReuse Foundation and PUB, Singapore's national water agency, signed a research agreement on May 18 to co-fund up to $5 million worth of research that will help water agencies worldwide provide a sustainable water supply, while enhancing the environment and protecting public health. The agreement was signed during the WateReuse Foundation's 13th Annual Water Reuse & Desalination Research Conference in Huntington Beach, CA.
Study: Reclaimed Water Quality Similar to Other Waters
May 6, 2009
A new Foundation water quality study found that reclaimed/recycled water, surface water, and groundwater were more similar than dissimilar when tested for the presence of 244 representative constituents. The largest difference between reclaimed water and the other waters appears to be that reclaimed water has been disinfected and thus has disinfection byproducts (due to chlorine use). The complete results can be found in the report titled A Reconnaissance-Level Quantitative Comparison of Reclaimed Water, Surface Water, and Groundwater, which is available from the Foundation.
