Fighting water scarcity with reuse technologies
February 27, 2026
Growing demand for limited water resources is driving more communities than ever to explore sustainable reuse solutions
Water reuse is booming. Interest is even growing in the water-abundant US Midwest. Smaller snowpacks in the west, water quality concerns in the east, and heavier industrial demand for clean water are all driving this emerging trend in water resource management.
Early adopters across Southern California and the Western US are transforming recycled water into safe, high-quality drinking water. The process provides sustainable, drought-resistant water supplies amid ongoing shortages and unpredictable water levels. Regulations are set at the state level, varying how each state can prepare communities for long-term water resilience.
As more communities adopt water reuse to address demand, they’re balancing a variety of regulatory, social, and economic pressures. Our water reuse team helps utilities, state agencies, and private sector clients plan reuse strategies and projects that protect valuable water resources. From ongoing project work in Southern California to emerging needs across the country, our team is helping utilities and industries prepare for current and future water supply challenges.
