Featured White Paper
Debugging Recycled Water
Author     :  Greg Welsh
Company :  Macquarie University
The biggest barrier to widespread recycling, according to Dr Belinda Ferrari of Macquarie University`s Research Institute for Biotechnology, is a stigma that recycled water is less safe, or palatable than dam water. It makes sense then that before tackling the difficult task of trying to convince the community that they should drink treated wastewater, its applications in other areas should be increased. Irrigation alone accounts for 75 percent of Australia`s total water use and there are countless manufacturing and domestic functions: from heating industrial boilers to flushing toilets that currently use up vast amounts of drinking quality water.
