Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Growing population and uncertain water availability threaten many cities in California and across the U.S. Treated wastewater has been recognized as a valuable water source, rather than a waste product, through water reuse applications. Decentralized water reuse offers a viable option for a sustainable water infrastructure as it spatially merges supply and demand with sufficient water quality. This work utilizes a life-cycle assessment methodology to provide a framework for assessing the energy intensity and greenhouse gas emissions of residential non-potable water reuse. To create a functionally equivalent comparison, the study assesses decentralized systems in different scales and hypothetical centralized water reuse scenarios under different spatial conditions (Figure 1). The framework described can be used as a planning support tool to help make optimal decisions when integrating decentralized infrastructure for water reuse in an urban setting.
