Jacqueline Mutter, National One Water Planning Lead for HDR, reflects on how potable reuse has evolved over the past decade from a long-range planning scenario into a critical water supply strategy.
Pranjali Kumar, Southeast Reuse Lead for Carollo, highlights the organizational realities behind successful reuse projects. While treatment technology gets much of the attention, she argues that strong leadership, cross-department collaboration, and project champions are often the factors that determine whether a project moves forward or stalls.
Fred Gerringer, Water Reuse National Practice Leader at Brown and Caldwell, explains why water reuse is becoming increasingly common across the country. From water scarcity and stricter discharge regulations to growing demand from data centers and industry, he outlines the major drivers that will shape reuse adoption over the next decade.
This video showcases the vital role 16 Pentair Aurora pumps play in maintaining Penn 1, a 57-floor skyscraper in New York City. Covering over 2.5 million square feet and home to 200 businesses, Penn 1 relies on Pentair's efficient and reliable pumps to ensure smooth operations and support the daily activities of thousands. See how Pentair pumps contribute to this impressive infrastructure.
CLOSING THE GAP: A MODERN PLAYBOOK FOR NON-REVENUE WATER
