Abstract
  • In arid environments, water is often considered the most precious resource. Not only does water support human life and allow for population numbers to flourish; but it is also one of the core aspects of sustainable development. When water supplies decrease at alarming rates in these arid environments, it can cause panic amongst the public while also forcing city officials to contemplate the future of their city’s water. Phoenix, a large city in the state of Arizona, is situated within a desert landscape that, due to extended drought, is experiencing yearly decreases in water supplies. The Colorado River supplies water to Phoenix, but with dwindling water levels, it is crucial that this bustling desert city explore other available water sources in geographical proximity. Direct potable reuse, the treatment of wastewater to potable water standards distributed within a water system and consumed by the public, is an option the City of Phoenix should pursue. The barriers to implementing such technology, in order to access a new water source, will be explored in this paper using a comparative case study analysis.
