Thinking Outside the Waterworks: Transitioning to a Decentralized Water System Model
This article discusses an alternative decentralized water system model that uses emerging and ecological engineering advances to allow for extensive local water treatment and reuse. Strategically deployed, locally focused technology – combining a variety of modular treatment processes, advanced ecological engineering, and inexpensive information systems – will ease the stress on water resources, help extend existing infrastructure life, and reduce the costs, energy consumption, and climate footprint required to provide water through a centralized system. The article provides specific steps to follow towards decentralization.
