In this episode of 21st Century Water, we sit down with Andrea Cole, General Manager of Dominion Water & Sanitation District in Colorado. With a background in engineering and law, Andrea brings a multidimensional perspective to leading water, wastewater, and stormwater efforts in the fast-growing Sterling Ranch community. We begin by exploring her journey from a small town in Wyoming, where an early appreciation for natural resources sparked her passion for water. Her unique blend of technical knowledge and legal expertise has positioned her to address the regulatory, financial, and political challenges that utilities face today.We dive into Sterling Ranch's model of sustainability, where renewable water is foundational—not an afterthought. Dominion, under Andrea's leadership, has helped position the community as a leader in water efficiency, achieving usage rates as low as 0.17 acre-feet per home annually. This mindset-first approach has shaped a culture where residents inherently value water as a finite resource. With only 10% of the community built out so far, Sterling Ranch is on track to grow to nearly 60,000 residents, with infrastructure in place to support long-term sustainability.We also look at Douglas County's broader vision for growth, where Dominion plays a central role in establishing renewable water systems to support future economic development. A key highlight is the $34 million regional wastewater treatment plant set to break ground, which will treat reusable water and enable indirect potable reuse. This project also connects a nearby disadvantaged community to modern infrastructure and safe water, correcting long-standing issues with non-renewable, contaminated sources.Andrea emphasizes the importance of soft skills in leadership—stakeholder engagement, regulatory navigation, and political awareness—as often more critical than the technical engineering work itself. Her legal training enables her to view regulatory frameworks not as barriers but as tools for innovative problem-solving. We also discuss Dominion's forward-thinking investment strategy, totaling over $70 million across wastewater, pump stations, and water pipeline projects in the coming years.Despite being a small and growing utility with only 11 employees, Dominion is leveraging its flexibility to adopt modern technology like GIS to enhance planning and operations. Workforce development is another key theme, with Andrea focusing on hiring people who thrive in dynamic environments and want to help shape the district's future. She closes by expressing her vision for a legacy rooted in sustainability—a future where our great-grandchildren can enjoy water and nature just as we have.Links:Dominion Water & Sanitation District: https://www.dominionwsd.orgSterling Ranch Community: https://www.sterlingranchcolorado.comDouglas County Government: https://www.douglas.co.usAmerican Rescue Plan Act: https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/coronavirus/assistance-for-state-local-and-tribal-governments/state-and-local-fiscal-recovery-funds Aquasight Website: https://aquasight.io/

Paul Mann is the founder of Water Champions, an engineering and design firm specializing in the efficient and smart use of water. He joins Ted Flanigan to discuss how this came about, and what each of us can do to be water smart.During Covid, Paul and his wife experienced California drought and fires, and began to realize the enormous importance of water at home and worldwide. Fully half of the Earth's population lives in water-stressed areas, and given population growth, demand for water will grow by 20 - 30%. "Water shortage is imminent."Paul and Jenna Mann's story began at home, with an outdoor shower next to their hot tub. They rigged a system such that the shower's water came from captured rainwater, harvested in a large tank. The shower's drain was channeled into their three-level garden beds. These and other measures -- including leak detection systems and irrigation controllers -- cut their water use by a shocking 60 - 70%.They found that new technologies, like recirculating water shower systems, cut water and energy use while delivering more fulfilling showers. These systems collect and reuse water, they clean it, reheat it, and disinfect it with UV. Their discovery with basic practices and new technologies resulted with them wanting to share their experiences, pamphleting their neighbors, telling them about their success. This launched Water Champions.Today Water Champions provides consulting service for homes and businesses to help them use water efficiently... from the water source to its reuse, ultimately supporting end-uses such as drought-tolerant landscaping and permaculture. Paul and Jenna also created the Renova Academy which trains architects, designers, landscapers, homeowners, and others online. One need not give up the pool, Paul explained. Through smart water use, Water Champions helps people maintain quality lifestyles through a portfolio of water solutions.

25% of all the water that comes into our homes is flushed down the toilet. By 2050, we're going to need an extra 5 billion litres of water a day - almost a third more - available in 25 years.This increased need for water is driven by a growing population, new homes and a water hungry economy and there's an opportunity to reduce our demand for the highest quality drinking water by using an alternative for things like flushing the toilet and watering the garden. So in todays episode we explore whether harvesting rainwater and using it in our homes could be part of the solution to closing the 5 billion litre shortfall.  You'll hear from George Warren, from Anglian Water, who's driving the 'Enabling Water Smart Communities' project to see how rainwater and water reuse in new housing developments can be scaled up.  Niki's co-host is Tom Chance, the CEO of the Community Land Trust Network,  representing community-led affordable housing projects - who shares the wider landscape around building new homes - and how rainwater harvesting could be included.SponsorsPlanet Possible is grateful to Mackley, Business Modelling Applications & MWH Treatment for their support.

If you're a regular listener of this podcast, I hope I don't need to convince you about the perks of water reuse: it's a widely untapped water resource in an era of growing water scarcity, it's the cheapest of all the unconventional water sources, notably much cheaper than seawater desalination, and it comes with a wealth of welcome side-effects, ranging from much better environmental impact and removal of trace compounds and endocrine disruptors, all the way through resource recovery and circular economy.Great, that's a very rational story, yet we humans are no rational beings despite what we believe. We're emotional, and the emotions associated with water reuse are, let's face it, tainted. As a result, despite all the good reasons to adopt it, the recent growth we've seen in water reuse's contribution to our water mix might be an optical illusion. It's growing, yes, but a bit like a dragster to which you would have attached a parachute after having placed an elephant in the passenger seat. So the question becomes: how do we remove that elephant and that parachute? How do we speed up the much-needed adoption of water reuse?

Water Reuse Builds Momentum in Europe

The Future of Water

In Europe, the need for sustainable water management solutions has been magnified by last summer's drought and record-breaking temperatures. The increasing severity of water stress remains a key driver behind the implementation of wastewater reuse. Particularly, in Southern Europe where water stress is more pronounced, the reuse market has witnessed greater development, although with challenges associated with funding and regulations. As a consequence, some Mediterranean countries have become notable leaders in the adoption of reuse projects, mainly focused on facilitating agricultural irrigation, and to a lesser extent irrigation of landscapes and recreational areas. In this episode, The Future of Water host, Reese Tisdale, is joined by Bluefield analysts Chloé Meyer, Zineb Moumen, and Ethan Edwards to discuss the research methodology behind their latest analysis of Europe's municipal wastewater reuse market. Key talking points: How is the EU policy landscape changing? Which countries are driving wastewater reuse in Europe? A look at market attractiveness by country What is the size of the market? Bonus Content: Reese brings in Bluefield Senior Analyst Ethan Edwards to discuss his analysis of the 3M PFAS settlement. While there has been a fair amount of analysis on how utilities will address PFAS and emerging contaminants, the 3M settlement is a path to targeting the production source. As discussed, Bluefield's updated PFAS remediation forecast estimates that drinking water utilities will spend a total of nearly US$13.5 billion between 2023 – 2030, up from a previously forecasted total of US$6 billion because of pending EPA guidlines and the legal settlements.

Vamos falar um pouco hoje sobre o reuso de água. Em todo o mundo existe uma grande preocupação com a disponibilidade de água potável para a população. O uso excessivo desse recurso e a constante contaminação e poluição de rios e lagos contribuem para a crise hídrica em todo o mundo. Diante da escassez de água, alternativas devem ser criadas para melhor aproveitamento desse valioso bem. A água de reuso é um bom exemplo de como podemos evitar o desperdício e a reutilização. Água de reuso é a água residual que está dentro dos padrões estabelecidos para seu reuso. Normalmente esse tipo de efluente provém de banhos, cozimento, processos de fabricação industrial e água de infiltração, sendo geralmente tratado em Estações de Tratamento de Esgoto. Existem basicamente dois tipos principais de reutilização: indireta e direta. O reuso indireto é aquele em que a água é utilizada pelo homem e devolvida aos corpos d'água sem ou com tratamento prévio. Reutilização direta é o uso planejado de águas residuais. Assim, são realizados tratamentos específicos para que essa água seja reaproveitada. A água de reuso tem qualidade inferior quando comparada à água potável e não é utilizada diretamente para consumo humano. Na maioria dos casos, seu uso inclui geração de energia, refrigeração de equipamentos, lavagem de carros, irrigação de plantações, combate a incêndio, limpeza de ruas e irrigação de jardins. Todas essas atividades dispensam o uso de água potável, portanto, a água de reuso disponibiliza mais água potável em nossas torneiras, auxiliando no problema do abastecimento doméstico. A água de reuso é uma ótima alternativa para a atual crise hídrica em que o Brasil se encontra. O reuso da água promove o uso sustentável dos recursos hídricos, diminui a quantidade de esgoto lançado em rios e lagos, além de aumentar a disponibilidade para fins onde há uma necessidade de potabilidade. Vários países como Austrália, Estados Unidos e Israel, entre outros, já possuem programas de reuso de água. No caso do Japão, após uma grande seca em 1964, o reuso da água foi implantado em todas as indústrias de Tóquio e Nagoya. Na década de 1980, o reaproveitamento também passou a ser uma opção para o consumo doméstico nas grandes cidades: a água é utilizada para descarte, limpeza e derretimento da neve. Atualmente, a água de reuso ainda não é utilizada para consumo humano no Brasil, porém, várias obras estão sendo realizadas para que isso seja possível em breve. Let's talk a little bit today about water reuse. All over the world there is great concern about the availability of drinking water for the population. The excessive use of this resource and the constant contamination and pollution of rivers and lakes contribute to the water crisis around the world. In view of the scarcity of water, alternatives must be created to make better use of this valuable asset. Reuse water is a good example of how we can avoid waste and reuse. Reuse water is waste water that is within the established standards for its reuse. Usually this type of wastewater comes from bathing, cooking, industrial manufacturing processes and infiltration water, and is usually treated at Sewage Treatment Plants. There are basically two main types of reuse: indirect and direct. Indirect reuse is one in which water is used by man and released again into water bodies without or with previous treatment. Direct reuse is the planned use of wastewater. Thus, specific treatments are carried out so that this water is reused. The reuse water has a lower quality when compared to drinking water and is not used directly for human consumption. In most cases, its use includes power generation, equipment cooling, car washing, crop irrigation, fire fighting, street cleaning and garden irrigation. All of these activities do not require the use of drinking water, therefore, the reuse water makes more drinking water available in our taps, thus helping with the domestic supply problem. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/multimidiavillage/message

Municipal wastewater reuse capacity is expected to dramatically increase over the next 6 years, with over 700 projects presently in planning across the U.S., and the EPA’s recent release of its Draft Water Reuse Action Plan seeking to establish guidelines for the sector. Landscape irrigation is already one of the most common uses of recycled water, but California and Florida have been using it in their agriculture for over 40 years, too. Our guest, Bluefield Research Director Erin Bonney Casey, will map out the current water reuse market in the U.S., as well its potential for future growth, including:· Replacing sole source dependence on potable water resources for irrigation. Will municipal water and sewer rates fund reuse projects? Public vs. Private Decentralized Reuse New applications for reclaimed water in Agriculture and more. Potential impact of the Covid-19 crisis on the reuse market. Water reuse is critical to the future of water. We hope you can join us for our JAIN lunch and learn presentation on this timely subject. Special Guest: Erin Bonney Casey.

The large-scale introduction of water reuse into an existing water supply system is a complex socio-technical process. Consumers drive the success of water reuse programs through adoption, and infrastructure designs affect adoption patterns. This research develops a modeling framework to capture the feedbacks among consumer adoption and infrastructure expansion. Two theories are applied and compared to simulate the diffusion of water innovations. Theories are modeled as a neighborhood-based diffusion and a network-based diffusion. Models are applied to simulate and project adoption of water reuse for the Town of Cary, North Carolina.
