Exploring an unconventional solution to water scarcity
In response to escalating water scarcity driven by climate change and rapid population growth, St. George, Utah, is pioneering the use of recycled wastewater to bolster its water supply. With traditional water sources fully allocated, the city plans to repurpose treated sewage for irrigation, thereby conserving potable water for essential uses. This innovative approach aims to address the challenges faced by desert communities and could serve as a model for other drought-prone regions.
