Abstract
Previous desktop studies have documented water quality issues and water quality and treatment cost trade-offs associated with storage options for reclaimed water. The project developed a set of case studies on seasonal storage of reclaimed water in surface waters or open storage facilities. This study focuses on the issues associated with utilities’ efforts in maintaining reclaimed water quality during the storage phase. Where applicable, the water quality of stored flows discharged to surface waters and other reuse applications was also addressed.
