The Water Reuse Consortium was established to:
Provide national leadership on implementing potable water reuse to improve water resiliency and security.
Develop advanced technologies for water treatment; contaminant and pathogen detection and removal; and energy reduction.
Leverage existing partnerships and form new ones between industry and municipalities to develop and demonstrate innovative technologies and systems for water reuse and resource recovery.
Collaborate with municipalities and federal agencies (DoD, EPA, DOE, USBR and others) to facilitate technical and regulatory communication amongst all potable water reuse stakeholders.
Develop curriculum that can also be adapted for military personnel.
Advance a national water reuse agenda with critical impact for military agencies that have installations across all 50 states.
The Water Reuse Consortium is funded by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) and is a partnership between the University of Southern California, the University of Arizona, and the University of Nevada, Reno.
ERDC is the premier research and development center for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. They discover, develop, and deliver innovative solutions to the nation's toughest challenges in military engineering, installations and operational environments, civil works, geospatial research and engineering, and engineered resilient systems.
The University of Southern California is a leading private research university located in Los Angeles — a global center for arts, technology and international business. It is home to the top-ranked USC Viterbi School of Engineering and 22 exceptional academic schools and units. USC’s Health Sciences campus houses renowned specialized care and research in cancer, stem cell and regenerative medicine, orthopedics and sports medicine. The university is the largest private sector employer in the city of Los Angeles, responsible for $8 billion annually in economic activity in the region.
The University of Arizona is repeatedly recognized for its outstanding academic programs and exceptional value, Arizona is where students collaborate with leading faculty to solve critical problems and make the world better through groundbreaking discovery. Whether leading space missions with NASA or discovering better ways to feed the planet, Arizona prepares students for a rapidly changing world through a hands-on approach to learning. Its campus is located in the heart of sunny Tucson, Arizona, a city that offers rich culture and breathtaking landscapes of the Sonoran Desert. Over 40,000 students are enrolled at the university, coming from all 50 states and more than 100 countries.
The University of Nevada, Reno is a Carnegie® R1 research university committed to the pursuit of knowledge that addresses the important issues of our time, promotes innovation and drives Nevada's economic prosperity. UNR faculty's research is helping reshape what we know about everything from anthropology to dryland agriculture, water resources and robotics. The University is home to dozens of state-of-the-art laboratories and facilities and more than 60 research centers that anchor our pioneering work in areas ranging from engineering research to sustainability in Lake Tahoe and the Great Basin region.
