  Indirect potable use - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Indirect potable use is a method in which a source of water is indirectly used as drinking water.
However, it may be pumped into reservoirs or aquifers, where it will mix with water from other sources, such as rain.
This indirect potable use of reclaimed water may also be referred to as groundwater recharging or reservoir augmentation.

The need to reconvene the California Potable Reuse Committee established by DWR in 1993 or to convene a successor committee to update the committee’s finding that planned indirect potable reuse of recycled water by augmentation of surface water supplies would not adversely affect drinking water quality if certain conditions were met.
Use of recycled water is motivated with a particular objective in mind and is often evaluated as one of several alternatives before determining that recycled water use is the most cost-effective means of meeting one or more objectives.
Most indirect reuse is unplanned, that is, there was no prearranged agreement or intention that the producer of the treated wastewater would maintain control of the effluent after discharge so that it would be reused downstream.

A: Water reuse refers to the use of treated municipal wastewater as a source of supply for nonpotable uses ("nonpotable reuse") or as a supplement to a community's drinking water supply through blending with raw water sources ("indirect potable reuse").
Nonpotable and indirect potable reuse applications can supplement a water utility's source water resources by using advanced processes to treat municipal and industrial wastewater, storm water, and agricultural drainage to create a high-quality water for a variety of uses.
Indirect potable reuse applications may involve purposely discharging reclaimed water into either groundwater (e.g., through soil aquifer treatment) or surface water that ultimately supplies a public drinking water system.

Historically, reclaimed water was first used for agricultural applications that do not require high quality water, e.g., pasture irrigation or nonfood crop irrigation, and were often perceived as a method of wastewater disposal.
In the last 30 years, there has been a dramatic increase in both the types of reclaimed water applications and quantities of water used, and the trend has shifted toward higher level uses such as urban irrigation, toilet and urinal flushing, commercial and industrial uses, and indirect potable reuse.
The assessment of health risks associated with indirect potable reuse must consider both microbiological and chemical contaminants and is less definitive due to limited chemical and toxicological data and inherent limitations in available toxicological and epidemiological methods.

The District also wants to consider other promising uses such as stream flow augmentation, which is another indirect potable use application.
If recycled water is used to supplement fish habitat, they want to be sure that water percolating into the ground through the stream bed will not cause environmental impacts.
In the future, if indirect potable reuse gains greater public acceptance and the technology improves, that may be a more effective way to use recycled water.

 Project Descriptions-NCSWS
Direct potable reuse, where recycled wastewater is piped directly into the potable water system, is not currently practiced in the U.S. Although several projects are in the planning stages, their ultimate success will be based on overcoming political obstacles and a lack of public acceptance.
Indirect potable reuse is the discharge of recycled water into a surface water or the infiltration into the subsurface to augment in part a drinking water supply source.
A recent report released by the National Research Council (1998) concluded that planned, indirect potable reuse was only viable when there is a complete project-specific assessment, where there are multiple barriers and monitoring, and when the use is an option of last resort.

It is our understanding that th epotable reuse option was rejected and that indirect potable reuse was adopted.
However, as you would be aware, the proposed implementation od indirect potable reuse of treated sewage effluent is contingent upon community acceptance including a referendum planned for the future.
It is also contingent on extensive futuring monitoring and technical assessment including years of testing using a piolet plant and gathering data from research being undertaken around Australia and overseas.

The report concluded that indirect potable reuse of reclaimed water (i.e., using reclaimed water to augment a potable water source before treatment) is viable and that direct potable reuse (i.e., introducing reclaimed water directly into a water distribution system) is not viable.
Thus, each indirect potable reuse project should be implemented only after a thorough, project-specific assessment of health concerns and measures to mitigate them.
Finally, potable reuse should only be considered in communities in which other efforts -- water conservation, development of new water sources, and nonpotable reuse -- cannot cost-effectively meet the communities` needs.

Three types of water reuse were considered, including direct potable reuse, indirect potable reuse, and non-potable reuse.
The estimated amount of potable water that could be augmented with indirect potable reuse applications ranges from 40 to 120 MGD, or between 4 and 12 percent of the projected 2030 annual average day (AAD) demand.
Due to stringent nutrient limits, the cost-effectiveness of indirect potable reuse decreases significantly as the discharge quantity of reclaimed water exceeds 120 MGD into a lake or reservoir.

The purpose is to prevent the contamination of receiving waters, groundwater and drinking water by planned and unplanned indirect potable water reuse of treated urban wastewater.
On the other hand, the common technologies used in urban wastewater treatment plants have not been specifically designed to remove these susbtances, and they can be found in the final effluent discharged by these plants.
There are not many adequate systems for controlling the right operation of these plants since either they use to be developed for concrete application and are not for general use or they require too complex monitoring system or high levels of expertise with non-assumable costs.

 USQ ePrints - Reclaimed wastewater as a resource for sustainable water management
Tertiary treated wastewater and sometimes untreated industrial and agricultural wastes are returned to the water body from where downstream utilities withdraw water for potable uses.
Planned indirect potable reuse aims to remove these contaminants present in the tertiary treated effluent using advanced treatment technologies with multiple barriers before discharging them into the water bodies to augment the drinking water supply downstream or of their own.
This paper reviews some indirect potable reuses practiced in the world, the treatment methodologies adopted and discusses how stakeholders can contribute for continued sustainable supply of these water resources.

Using a membrane bioreactor/reverse osmosis system for indirect potable reuse
Previous testing by the City (Phase 1) demonstrated the applicability and cost of microfiltration (Memcor and ZeeWeed systems) to enhance the quality of secondary effluent for subsequent treatment by RO and the feasibility of a membrane bioreactor system (ZenoGem) to produce RO feedwater directly from minimally processed sewage.
Results show the ZenoGem process to be reliable, require minimal operator attention and maintenance, produce an effluent that can be processed by RO with little fouling and that easily exceeds the City's current effluent discharge requirements relative to BOD, TSS and ammonia.

Ted Heyck, a critic who was elected to the utility's board in November, said indirect potable reuse is unproven and raises myriad health concerns.
Indirect potable reuse treats wastewater to meet a higher standard than reclaimed water used for irrigation, according to the American Water Works Association, the nation's largest organization of water-supply professionals.
The technology is used in rivers across the country, including the Santa Ana, but the utility's report noted using lakes to store the water is more rare.
