The last decade has included some of the warmest and driest years on record in the U.S. and Canada, and large
parts of both countries have experienced prolonged and severe droughts.

To address these challenges, communities are upgrading their water and wastewater treatment plants to conserve
and reuse as much water as possible. They are using water reuse facilities to repurpose wastewater for non-potable –
and potable – uses. These facilities help alleviate pressure on municipal water supplies and build resilience.
