On the July 15th edition of Your Call, we’ll continue our weeklong series on solutions to California’s drought by talking about recycling and reusing wastewater.
In California, only a quarter of wastewater is treated, recycled and reused. As the drought continues, recycled water is getting more attention and is expected to be a significant future source for landscaping and drinking. What’s the future of recycled water in California? It’s Your Call with Rose Aguilar, and you.
