Planning for the Distribution of Reclaimed Water

The 1983 and 1994 Manuel M24, Dual Water Systems, is revised here and provided with a title that better represents its contents. It offers information on planning and designing dual distribution systems that can accommodate, but keep separate, potable water and properly treated but non-potable reclaimed water for applications that do not require potable-quality water. Such systems are becoming more common as the supply of high-quality water sources tightens up, as costs rise for developing new sources or for treating poor-quality water to potable standards, and as the expense of discharging wastewater into the environment increases. The slender reference discussed regulations and guidelines for reusing water, planning, the engineering design of treatment and distribution, management, and financial and economic issues.
