Reused water is currently used for irrigation, non-potable applications, replenishing aquifers, just to name a few but there has a firm resistance to provide drinking water to the public from water reused from non-potable applications. The issue is not with the technologies but with the perception of "Toilet-to-Tap” water by the public. In some places, reduced water availability in tandem with an increase in population may require a fundamental shift in thinking if we want to ensure everyone’s' drinking water requirements will be met in the future.
