Water is a scarce and valuable resource. Every year, our usable supply gets smaller and smaller as it becomes contaminated with toxic materials. The good news is we can do something about it by reusing wastewater, the water we dispose of in our sewage treatment and greywater systems. Garry-Lee Espinosa, one of our senior engineers, joins us to talk about the ways wastewater can be cleaned up and repurposed.
