9 Executive Summary DRINKING WATER THROUGH RECYCLING Supplying highly treated reclaimed water directly to a drinking water distribution system is known internationally as direct potable reuse (DPR). This differs from more established approaches to potable water recycling by the absence of a so-called environmental buffer, a practice referred to as indirect potable reuse (IPR). IPR involves the storage of treated reclaimed water in environmental buffers such as a river, lake, reservoir or aquifer prior to it being recovered through drinking water treatment plants and distributed to consumers. To ATSE s knowledge at the time of publication, there are no currently operating DPR projects in Australia and no specific proposals for their development. However, ongoing interest in sustainable water supply systems, advances in the science and engineering of water treatment, and recent international developments in DPR have prompted consideration of DPR as a potential future component of Australian water supply systems. Any DPR scheme, as considered in this report, includes a number of general characteristics. A source of municipal wastewater is required, such as effluent from wastewater treatment plants, which is purified using advanced water treatment processes to effectively and reliably remove hazardous substances including pathogens and toxic chemicals. It would not be possible to meet all demand for drinking water through recycling, so the use of additional water sources remains essential. Finally, most DPR projects require a means of blending the recycled water with conventionally sourced water prior to delivery to consumers. Conceptually, DPR can be developed in a number of alternative configurations which differ by their arrangement of the water sources, treatment processes and blending locations. The major difference between DPR and IPR, i.e. the use of environmental buffers, has been attributed a number of important functions. These include: additional treatment of pathogens and chemical contaminants; the provision of time to respond to potential water treatment incidents; and improvement of public perceptions of potable water reuse. In order to maintain appropriate levels of safety, reliability, and public acceptance, such functions would need to be performed in any DPR system by engineered or other processes. This requires sophisticated approaches to water quality monitoring techniques, process reliability assessment, personnel training, engineered water storage design, and community engagement in particular. It is instructive to observe that there are a number of successfully operating DPR schemes internationally. The most established of these has been operating in Namibia since 1968 without observed negative impacts to public health. More recently, DPR projects have been developed in the US and South Africa, with both countries now actively considering additional developments within the next few years. Recent Guidelines for Water Reuse developed by the US Environment Protection Agency state that While DPR is still an emerging practice, it should be evaluated in water management planning, particularly for alternative solutions to meet urban water supply requirements that are energy intensive and ecologically unfavourable. The State of California, in particular, is currently investigating the feasibility of developing uniform criteria for DPR. Potential benefits of DPR, relative to IPR, are likely to be highly case-specific. However, potential benefits include significantly lower energy requirements, construction costs, and operational costs. DPR can also provide an opportunity to allow potable reuse in situations where a suitable environmental buffer is not available for IPR. 3
10 Potential obstacles or disadvantages for DPR, relative to IPR, are primarily related to public perception and acceptance. Importantly, ATSE considers that the scientific and engineering hurdles to implementing safe and reliable DPR are manageable. However, a number of technical issues relating to the functions of an environmental buffer in IPR are described above and would need to be addressed to the satisfaction of the general community. Key among these issues is the need to ensure reliability. It is apparent from a review of Australian legislation and regulations that existing frameworks for the planning, approval, management, and oversight of drinking water quality and recycled water in Australia could accommodate a well-designed and operated DPR project as a water resource management option. Advanced risk assessment and risk management tools are now available which can be considered for the implementation of DPR projects, relative to more established or conventional water sources. 4
11 Findings The science, technology and engineering associated with DPR have been rapidly advancing in recent decades. DPR is growing internationally and will be an expanding part of global drinking water supply in the decades ahead. DPR is technically feasible and can safely supply drinking water directly into the water distribution system, but advanced water treatment plants are complex and need to be designed correctly and operated effectively with appropriate oversight. Current Australian regulatory arrangements can already accommodate soundly designed and operated DPR systems. High levels of expertise and workforce training within the Australian water industry are critical. These must be supported by mechanisms to ensure provider compliance with requirements to use appropriately skilled operators and managers in their water treatment facilities. This will be no less important for any future DPR implementation and to maintain high levels of safety with current drinking water supply systems. Some members of the community are concerned about the prospect of DPR. Planning, decisionmaking and post-implementation management processes should acknowledge and respond to these concerns. Public access to information and decision-making processes needs to be facilitated. However, the relative merits of water supply options should, as far as possible, be based on quantifiable or evidence-based factors such as public safety, cost, greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts, as well as public attitudes. There is little value in distinguishing DPR from other water supply options, unless specific proposals are compared using these criteria. Any proposal to consider DPR alongside alternative water supply options should explicitly take account of full life-cycle costs, longterm sustainability (including pricing) and full costing of externalities. Individual recycling schemes, as with other supply options, will present unique opportunities and risks that need to be systematically identified and managed. In ATSE s view, the Australian Guidelines for Water Recycling provide an appropriate framework for managing community safety and for guiding responsible decision-making. Ultimately, water supply decision-making should be based on an objective assessment of available water supply options to identify the most economically, environmentally and socially sustainable solution. While optimum solutions will continue to be case-specific, ATSE is convinced of the technical feasibility and safety of drinking water supply through DPR when properly managed. ATSE considers there can be considerable environmental, economic, and community benefits of supplying highly treated recycled water direct to drinking water distribution systems in suitable circumstances. ATSE therefore concludes that DPR should be considered on its merits taking all factors into account among the range of available water supply options for Australian towns and cities. Furthermore, ATSE is concerned that DPR has been pre-emptively excluded from consideration in some jurisdictions in Australia in the past, and these decisions should be reviewed. Governments, community leaders, water utilities, scientists, engineers and other experts will need to take leadership roles to foster the implementation and acceptance of any DPR proposal in Australia. 5

13 Recommendations To stimulate adoption of DPR where appropriate, ATSE recommends: Regulation DRINKING WATER THROUGH RECYCLING Regulation of drinking water quality should be health-based Government regulators should implement health-based targets for water quality as the primary regulatory objective for drinking water supply. Harmonise guidelines to improve management and regulation of DPR projects The Australian Drinking Water Guidelines and Australian Guidelines for Water Recycling should be amended as necessary to facilitate the safe management and regulation of DPR projects, and to remove uncertainties over which guidelines prevail in some circumstances relating to potable reuse. Oversight Implement external auditing of water quality management Regulators should enhance external auditing of water quality management systems to help utilities and agencies maintain and demonstrate capacity to deliver safe drinking water through DPR. Enhance capabilities and powers of regulators Governments must resource regulators capabilities to fully understand the complexities and challenges of managing and monitoring DPR schemes, and to either audit schemes themselves or critically assess third-party audits. Research and development Improve water treatment process reliability, monitoring and validation Providers and regulators should examine world s best practice DPR facilities, and focus research and development on the optimisation, assessment and validation of water treatment process reliability and monitoring capabilities to prevent unsafe water from being delivered to customers. Community engagement Establish DPR reference sites around Australia and develop community engagement programs about water reuse Providers and regulators should collaborate to develop community engagement initiatives to raise awareness of the potential advantages of both IPR and DPR, and address perceived safety concerns about recycled water. This must include the development of reference sites to facilitate further training, research, and community engagement. 7

15 Chapter 1 Introduction DRINKING WATER THROUGH RECYCLING A reliable supply of high quality water is essential for all Australian towns and cities. Secure water availability facilitates agriculture, commerce, recreational activities, improved amenity and healthy lifestyles. As such, safe, reliable water supply is fundamental to the provision of high quality urban living. Drinking water supplies in Australia have notoriously experienced boom and bust cycles of floods and droughts. During the inevitable prolonged droughts, many water supply planning decisions have tended to have been made with an extreme sense of urgency, as conventional drinking water supplies for some of our major cities dwindled. This sense of urgency in planning restricts the opportunity for detailed options analysis and severely impedes the ability of governments and water utilities to develop public awareness and appreciation for the benefits of some non-traditional means of supplementing water supplies. As a consequence, it is arguable that there are now a number of large water supply infrastructure projects that were initiated during the past decade which are now seen to be an imperfect fit for addressing long-term water management needs. This is reflected in some large water recycling and seawater desalination infrastructure which is currently not producing water or operating well below design capacities. Much of Australia is now experiencing higher levels of water availability than was the case during the most recent extensive drought, termed the Millennium Drought (approximately ). Consequently, there appears to be little immediate urgency to identify and assess potential additional water sources. However, it is essential that such assessment be conducted at this point in the climate cycle, rather than waiting for the next drought to arrive. This planning early approach facilitates sober analysis of all issues associated with alternative water supplies. Furthermore, it enables necessary community debate and public awareness-raising to be initiated in the absence of a perceived water supply emergency and with adequate time to proceed. New water resources could come from a variety of sources including expanded capture and use of surface runoff, i.e. rivers and lakes, increased groundwater extraction, rainwater harvesting, urban stormwater harvesting, seawater desalination and wastewater reclamation including non-potable and potable reuse. In fact, all of these sources can be expected to play important roles in future Australian water supplies. Australia s geography, climate and culture share many common features with some parts of the US. However, due to greater population pressures, the US has tended to lead the way with the development of alternative water sources such as non-potable water reuse, indirect potable water recycling (IPR) and seawater desalination. The trend in the past has been that Australia has followed the US with the development of initial projects of each of these types one or more decades later, but often on a very large scale. Despite the success of IPR in the US, there is currently considerable interest internationally in direct potable reuse (DPR) as an alternative (Leverenz et al., 2011; Arnold et al., 2012). That is, municipal wastewater is highly treated to a quality suitable for direct reuse as a drinking water supply, without the inclusion of an environmental buffer which is a defining characteristic of IPR. Such environmental buffers have included rivers, lakes and aquifers. In addition to the long-term successful DPR scheme in Windhoek, Namibia, there have also been rapid recent developments in DPR in a number of locations in South Africa. 9
16 The environmental buffers of IPR schemes often have identifiable advantages, including storage of surplus supply, additional natural treatment, the provision of time to react in the case of water quality incidents, and favourable public perception. However, the rapidly growing interest in DPR reveals perceived disadvantages of the incorporation of an environmental buffer in some systems. These disadvantages have primarily been related to capital and operational costs, energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas footprint. In addition, there are a number of other possible advantages of DPR, which are yet to be explored in detail. These include improved water quality and system reliability as a consequence of reduced vulnerability to environmental factors such as extreme weather events and other catchment-related risks. During the past decade, potable water recycling has been subject to considerable scrutiny and public discussion in Australia. Until now, this attention has been limited almost exclusively to IPR. The alternative option of DPR has commonly been dismissed as presenting too many challenges. The perceived challenges have included the ability to reliably provide sufficiently and demonstrably safe water quality, as well as overcoming negative community perceptions and anticipated opposition. Despite these challenges, the active interest in IPR has led to rapid developments in our understanding of the capabilities of engineered treatment processes to produce exceptionally high quality drinking water. Advanced treatment processes, such as ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis and advanced oxidation were rarely used in water supply a decade ago. There are now a number of advanced water treatment plants, including recycling plants and seawater desalination plants, making use of these technologies in most of our capital cities. With this has come improved technical capacity, techniques for risk assessment, risk management and the growing confidence of Australian health regulators. Now is the appropriate time for Australia to begin to consider the issues associated with DPR as a potential future water resource for our cities. We can anticipate some advantages and disadvantages that are consistent with those that have been identified in the US and South Africa, and others which may be uniquely Australian. Important concerns and questions of economics, public health, environmental sustainability, risk management, and community attitudes and perceptions must be addressed. The aim of this report is to define in objective scientific, economic and social terms, the potential place of recycling directly to the drinking water distribution system, in the spectrum of available water supply options in Australia. It seeks to place water recycling for DPR in context among other water source options, including IPR, and identify barriers specific to DPR in Australia. By identifying these barriers and the ways in which they may be overcome, this report is intended to serve as a roadmap that could facilitate the deployment of recycled water for DPR in the event that it becomes a necessary water supply option in various regions around Australia. Terminology The terminology associated with the treatment and reuse of municipal wastewater has varied both nationally and internationally. In particular, the terms water reclamation, water reuse and water recycling have been used synonymously by some agencies. For example, the recent US EPA Guidelines for Water Reuse state that water reuse and water recycling have the same meaning, as do the terms reclaimed water and recycled water. Such interchangeable use of terminology is widespread, and intended meanings are usually relatively easily understood in context. Nonetheless, the following distinctions are used in most chapters of the current report. Exceptions occur in Chapter 6, where direct quotes are provided from survey respondents. 10
17 Water reclamation: The process of reclaiming wastewater, which would otherwise have been discharged to the environment, for beneficial reuse. The water reclamation process most commonly refers to the necessary additional treatment, which is required to achieve a suitable water quality standard for reuse. Water reuse: Any of many possible secondary uses of reclaimed water. This may include potable or nonpotable applications. The secondary use may or may not be the same as the primary use of the water. That is, reclaimed municipal sewage (primarily used as potable water) may again be used as a potable water supply or in a non-potable application such as crop irrigation. Water recycling: The reuse of reclaimed water for the same or equivalent application as the primary use. A key characteristic of a recycling process is the existence of an identifiable cycle, as opposed to a linear chain of processes. This is not to imply that a physical cycle is required (e.g. water is recycled back to the same reservoir or aquifer from which it was sourced), but a cycle of equivalent uses (e.g. reclaimed water from an upstream city may be treated and reused as a drinking water supply in a downstream city). Other important terms used to describe various approaches to, and aspects of, water recycling are defined in this document as follows: Municipal water reuse: The term municipal is applied to indicate that the source of reclaimed water is a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), also known as a sewage treatment plant (STP). This includes domestic wastewater (from households) and may also include commercial and industrial wastewaters. The reuse application may or may not be directly associated with municipal activities. Non-potable water reuse: Reclaimed water is used for non-drinking applications such as irrigation, toilet flushing or industrial processes. Potable water reuse: Reclaimed water is reused as a component of a drinking water supply. Also referred to as water recycling and potable water recycling. Planned potable reuse: This term is used to describe potable reuse schemes that are publicly acknowledged as an intentional project to recycle water for potable reuse. As such, it encompasses all direct potable reuse schemes and a number of indirect potable reuse schemes, but not the much more common, defacto water reuse. This distinction is important since it commonly implies a more formal and coordinated approach to water quality risk management than is observed with most de-facto water reuse. Indirect potable reuse: Reclaimed water is intentionally reused to augment an environmental drinking water supply such as a river, lake or aquifer. Direct potable reuse: Reclaimed water is reused (with or without retention in an engineered storage buffer) as a drinking water supply, without return to an environmental system such as a river, lake or aquifer. After suitable treatment, the water may be transferred directly to a municipal water treatment plant or to a drinking water distribution system. This water may or may not be blended with other water sources. De-facto water reuse: Also commonly referred to as unplanned water reuse, this refers to a situation where reuse of reclaimed water is in fact practised, but not officially recognised. Common examples occur where a wastewater treatment plant from one city discharges effluent to a river which is subsequently used as a drinking water supply for another city downstream. 11
18 Conventional water sources: Refers to environmental sources of water intended for potable use. Conventional sources include surface waters, i.e. rivers and lakes, and ground waters, i.e. aquifers. Conventional sources may be subject to a range of contamination sources including effluents from STPs (in the case of de-facto water reuse). However, planned reuse of effluents from STPs (in the case of IPR or DPR) is not considered to be a conventional source. Conventional water treatment: Describes water treatment processes that are currently in common use for the municipal treatment of water from conventional water sources for potable use. Examples include (but are not limited to) coagulation, flocculation, media filtration, and various forms of chlorine disinfection. Conventional wastewater treatment: Describes wastewater treatment processes that are currently in common use for the treatment of municipal wastewater prior to discharge to the environment. Examples include (but are not limited to) settling, activated sludge treatment, biofiltration (tricking filters), biological nutrient removal, media filtration and chlorine disinfection. Advanced water treatment: Describes additional treatment processes that may be applied to conventionally treated wastewater in order to improve the quality to a degree suitable for various reuse applications, including potable reuse. Examples include (but are not limited to) membrane treatment processes (for example, microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis), advanced oxidation processes and additional disinfection processes such as ozonation or the use of ultraviolet radiation. 12
19 Chapter 2 What is DPR and how does it work in practice? What is direct potable reuse? The description of DPR provided in the introduction to this report indicates that reclaimed water is reused as a drinking water supply, without return to an environmental system such as a river, lake or aquifer. Highly treated water, sourced from reclaimed municipal wastewater, may be transferred directly to a municipal drinking water treatment plant or a drinking water distribution system. This water may or may not be blended with other water sources. The use of the term direct is intended to distinguish this approach to potable water reuse from the more commonly applied and recognised alternative, IPR. The characteristic feature of all IPR schemes is that the reclaimed water is first returned to some form of environmental system, commonly referred to as an environmental buffer, such as a river, lake or aquifer. From that point, the water may be mixed with other conventional sources of water prior to being extracted for further treatment and use as municipal drinking water. The absence of an environmental buffer in a DPR project does not necessarily imply that there is no capacity for storage to buffer any variability in water supply and demand. However, it would normally imply that such a storage buffer, should it be used, would be engineered rather than environmental. Furthermore, engineered storage buffers of DPR systems would not normally be assumed to provide any additional treatment benefit, as is often assumed for environmental buffers. The US EPA Guidelines for Water Reuse describe DPR as follows (US EPA 2012): DPR refers to the introduction of purified water, derived from municipal wastewater after extensive treatment and monitoring to assure that strict water quality requirements are met at all times, directly into a municipal water supply system. The resultant purified water could be blended with source water for further water treatment or could be used in direct pipe-topipe blending, providing a significant advantage of utilizing existing water distribution infrastructure. All direct potable water reuse projects will require a number of key components. These include a wastewater source, such as a municipal WWTP and advanced water treatment processes, which may or may not be located at a dedicated advanced water treatment plant (AWTP). Since not all drinking water supplied to a community is returned to the wastewater collection system, additional contributions of water from conventional sources will always be required to meet demand. Conventional sources may include surface water and groundwater sources, which would also require treatment by some conventional water treatment processes. This potable water treatment may be undertaken at the same site as the advanced treatment process or at a dedicated drinking water treatment plant (WTP). Four conceptual configurations of these DPR scheme components are described in Figure 1. 13
20 Figure 1 Direct potable reuse: four configurations of water sources, treatment processes and blending. DPR configuration 1 DPR configuration 2 WWTP AWTP / WTP Distribution WWTP AWTP WTP Distribution Conventional water sources Conventional water sources DPR configuration 3 DPR configuration 4 WWTP AWTP WWTP AWTP Distribution Distribution WTP WTP Distribution Conventional water sources Conventional water sources DPR Configuration 1 involves blending of reclaimed water and conventional sources of water prior to advanced water treatment processes and any additional water treatment processes. In this case, there may be no clear distinction between processes that could be considered the advanced water treatment processes and any additional conventional drinking water treatment processes. Indeed, all of these processes may be located on a single site as a single plant. The New Goreangab Water Reclamation Plant in Windhoek, Namibia (see Chapter 4) is an example of this configuration. DPR Configuration 2 involves blending of advanced-treated reclaimed water with conventionally sourced water prior to additional drinking water treatment processes. Although these additional water treatment processes will add another barrier to contaminants in reclaimed water, in most cases their primary purpose will be for treatment of the conventionally sourced component of the water. The additional water treatment process may be located separately at a dedicated drinking water treatment plant, e.g. Big Spring, Texas, or may be co-located with the advanced water treatment plant, e.g. Cloudcroft, New Mexico. Both of these examples are described in Chapter 4. DPR Configuration 3 involves distinct treatment processes for reclaimed water and conventionally sourced water prior to blending of the two sources. In this case, the AWTP and the WTP will most commonly be located separately and blending will take place in a potable water trunk main within the distribution system. Some minor adjustments such as adjustment of disinfectant residual concentrations may still take place subsequent to blending. An example of DPR Configuration 3 is the project operating in Beaufort West Municipality, South Africa (see Chapter 4). DPR Configuration 4 does not involve any blending of the advanced treated reclaimed water. In this case, some specific sections of a distribution system, or overall water supply system, will be supplied with unblended advanced treated reclaimed water, while other areas are supplied with conventionally sourced and treated water. Although the conventionally sourced water may, at first, appear to be unrelated to the DPR scheme, it is in fact an important component since it is required to make up the overall water balance. With the exception of some extreme circumstances (such as the International Space Station (Tchobanoglous et al., 2011)), it is not feasible for a DPR scheme to operate in isolation, since some water will inevitably be lost from the system and must be continuously replaced. 14

Wheat Germ Scones With Dried Fruits and Nuts
Recipe by Queen Dana
This recipe is from Bon Appetit May 2009. These are pretty good. I've made these scones a couple of times for my husband to keep in the refrigerator for breakfast. They are simple to make and keep well. I have subed pecans for almonds.
Top Review by French Tart
Absolutely deelish Dana darlink! I LOVE scones and have loads of recipes for them,but I LOVE to try new ones too! I made this with mixed berries and my own English mixed spice, no brown sugar as I was out of it, but I used golden caster sugar instead. I have no idea what honey-crunch wheat germ is, so I used country white flour with great results. I served these little beauties with butter and home made raspberry jam. Made for Whine and Cheese gang and ZWT6, thanks! FT:-)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup buttermilk, chilled (plus additional for brushing)
- 3⁄4 cup dried berries, and cherries mixture large pieces coarsely chopped

- 1⁄2 cup almonds, chopped
Directions See How It's Made

- Whisk flour, wheat germ, 1/3 cup brown sugar, cardamom, and ginger in large bowl. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in almonds, then buttermilk mixture. Mix until dough comes together in moist clumps. Gather dough together. Turn out onto lightly floured work surface; flatten to 8-inch round. Using large knife, cut round into 8 wedges. Place on prepared baking sheet, spacing apart. Brush scones with buttermilk and sprinkle lightly with additional brown sugar.

BMW was founded in 1913 by Karl Friedrich Rapp, an aero engineer. The company was named Rapp Motoren Werke and was located in Milbertshofen, Germany. After Germany lost World War I, aircraft construction was halted as a condition of the Treaty of Versailles. This forced the company, by then titled Bayerische Motoren Werke, to shift their focus to railroad brakes. From there they went on to motorcycle engines and then motorcycles.In 1928 BMW bought an automotive company, Dixi, and produced their first car, the BMW 3/15. World War II redirected their attention away from cars and back to cycles and airplanes and they wouldn't produce another car until 1952.Although BMWs are now manufactured all over the world, the BMW logo is a sign of their heritage. The blue and white roundel stands both for the flag of Bavaria and also depicts a white spinning propeller against a blue sky. Today's models are some of the most dependable and stylish vehicles on the road.
