Orange County starts recycling its wastewater
December 13, 2007

All water is recycled -- that's the main lesson to be drawn from the hydrological cycle. But people often resist the thought that the drinking water they take from the tap was once someone else's wastewater. Orange County, California, is making that natural process a little more obvious with its brand-new system for recharging its natural aquifers with treated wastewater. It's a natural step for an area with limited access to fresh water, and through filtration and disinfection, wastewater can be recycled much more directly than the conventional natural system allows.
