#4: Recycled water - Dirty water must be cleaned and can be sold
In this episode of Tap’d In, hosts Jordan and Lana explore innovative approaches to water management, inspired by David Zetland's Living with Water Scarcity. The discussion emphasizes the need to move from single-source water provision to localized, closed-cycle systems that prioritize recycling and pollution control. Zetland highlights the potential of pricing mechanisms and regulatory strategies, such as volumetric wastewater charges, cap-and-trade programs for industrial pollutants, and mandatory insurance against catastrophic pollution events. These tools aim to incentivize conservation and reduce pollution while addressing the increasing scarcity of freshwater resources. Jordan and Lana also examine the importance of realistic water usage accounting, covering both point-source and non-point source pollution, to ensure sustainable and equitable water management.
