Water Treatment in a Time of Scarcity

California’s water resources are perpetually strained due to its large population, productive agricultural sector, and industries. Recent drought aggravates water stress, making it more challenging to provide safe and reliable water. As a result of water scarcity, engineered solutions are needed to protect water resources and provide proper treatment of available water. Protection of human health and the environment are paramount in managing water. In this presentation, I will present case studies demonstrating how water treatment is being implemented in California, outlining current practice and highlighting opportunities for future projects
