5402 - Enabling Sustainable Water Reuse in California Through Evaluation of Municipal Wastewater Reuse Concentrate Minimization and Treatment Technologies and Processes

  • Assess the scalability, operational feasibility, and economic viability of emerging reverse osmosis concentrate (ROC)/brine minimization and zero liquid discharge (ZLD) and minimal liquid discharge (MLD) technologies across diverse California conditions, including energy, greenhouse gas, regulatory, and source-water considerations.
  • Identify practical pathways for technology adoption by evaluating trade-offs, early-adopter case studies, implementation bottlenecks, and future research needs to guide utilities and regulators.

5407 - Die Harder than the Default: Enhanced Pathogen LRV for Underground Retention Time

  • Conduct a rigorous, site-specific assessment of groundwater pathogen monitoring to evaluate the benefits and feasibility of achieving higher log removal values (LRVs) through subsurface retention time.
  • Demonstrate that site-specific pathogen removal credits can be scientifically validated at an appropriate location, supporting alternatives to generalized statewide assumptions.
