In this panel discussion, we will anticipate water reuse in the year 2050. The panel comprises a variety of water reuse professionals representing various sectors of the water community. This guided discussion will address the drivers of reuse, geographical and regulatory impacts, energy use implications, and technological advancements and research.
As the world's population continues to grow, water security will also become the most salient public health challenge facing future generations. Further, in the next 30 years, the most important environmental and social issues will involve water: who has it, who does not, whether it is safe, whether it is affordable and accessible, how it is managed, and by whom. Water will be central to pivotal governance decisions, intractable social debates, and climate initiatives. Water issues will impact economies, shift populations, and drive innovative technologies.
Consequently, a bold, collaborative initiative to envision the future of water and chart a course for future success and sustainability, called Water 2050, was established by the water community. An integral part of this initiative was the acknowledgment and need for additional water supply alternatives. As such, the water community must explore innovative solutions and embrace sustainable practices to enable future-proof means by which to secure our water future. Water reuse is key to addressing this challenge.
