E3.03 Hinkle 2019 ReNUWIt Annual Meeting Poster
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
California recycles only 13% of wastewater, via treatment at energy-intensive centralized facilities. Decentralized treatment and reuse provides an alternate solution with potential to save energy, halve urban water usage, and provide resiliency by recycling water close to where it’s used.
Previous ReNUWIt research used a spatial equilibrium model to show which parts of San Francisco can cut costs, energy, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by implementing building- or district-scale decentralized reuse. In 2015, San Francisco established Article 12C, an ordinance requiring many new developments to install graywater reuse systems.
We next plan to study pathogen removal in decentralized reuse systems. By measuring incoming water quality and treatment performance, we hope to improve performance with respect to energy usage, nutrient management, and scalability. Ultimately, as cities swell to hold 70% of the world’s population, we plan to explore how decentralized reuse can be applied to urban farming.
