While common practice in other parts of the US, reuse of storm water and treated wastewater is an emerging tool for North Carolina municipalities as they manage growing demands on their drought depleted water resources.

This online course discusses water reuse opportunities in North Carolina, specifically the drivers for reuse, benefits of a reuse program, and challenges to consider with such a program.  The course will give a municipal perspective, describing the planning, financial, infrastructure and sustainability aspects of an operating system in North Carolina.  Regulatory issues, integrated water management, as well as specific application will also be discussed.
