April 13, 2009: Bay Area Waste water: Once we use the water, what do we do with it?

Listen Listen

We will continue our series on Bay Area water issues with a focus on waste water management. In years of drought, we all become very aware of where our water comes from, but an ongoing challenge is treating sewage and maintaining the infrastructure that gets our water to where it needs to go. There are sporadic stories of sewage leaks, but systematic choices are made about where water gets pumped and "disposed of" that raise issues beyond the headlines. Ideas like greywater recycling and water purification programs have brought new approaches to dealing with a crucial element of Bay Area water management.
