This draft Action Plan seeks to foster greater consideration of water reuse across the water sector, such as agriculture, industry, potable water and more. Safe and reliable water supplies for human consumption, agriculture, business, industry, recreation, and healthy ecosystems are critical to our Nation's communities and economy. The draft Action Plan describes how agriculture, industry, and communities have demonstrated the value of reusing water, largely in response to various forms of water crises such as drought or source water contamination. Water reuse can improve the security, sustainability, and resilience of our Nation's water resources, especially when considered at the watershed or basin scale, through integrated and collaborative water resource planning. To accelerate the consideration of water reuse approaches and build on existing science, research, policy, technology, and both national and international experiences, the EPA has facilitated development of this draft National Water Reuse Action Plan across the water sector and with federal, state, and tribal partners. The draft Action Plan is intended to seek commitments and drive action across the various stakeholder groups and the Nation. The plan consists of 46 proposed actions that support consideration and implementation of water reuse applications across ten strategic objectives. This action is part of a larger effort by the Administration to better coordinate and focus taxpayer resources on some of the Nation's most challenging water resource concerns, including ensuring water availability and mitigating the risks posed by droughts. 84 FR 48612 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2019-09-16/2019-19984 2019-19984 fr16se19-43 6560-50-P EPA-HQ-OW-2019-0174 FRL 9999-82-OW https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2019-09-16/2019-19984 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-09-16/html/2019-19984.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-09-16/pdf/2019-19984.pdf 3 p. 48612 48614 84 FR 48612 Draft National Water Reuse Action Plan; Federal Register Vol. 84, Issue NOTICE 2019-19984 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 2019-12-16 EPA-HQ-OW-2019-0174 FRL 9999-82-OW 6560-50-P 2019-19984 Notice of availability; request for comments.
