EOA co-founder Adam Olivieri served as co-chair on an expert panel to advise the State Water Board on the science, technology, and public health issues regarding the feasibility of using direct potable reuse to meet growing water demands. The expert panel produced a feasibility report through the National Water Research Institute. After a yearlong investigation, the panel found that it would be feasible to develop and implement a uniform set of water recycling criteria for direct potable reuse that would incorporate public health protection as good as or better than conventional drinking water supplies and indirect potable reuse.
Panel members include co-chairs Dr. Adam Olivieri and Dr. James Crook, and contributors Dr. Michael Anderson, Dr. Richard Bull, Dr. Jörg Drewes, Dr. Charles Haas, Walter Jakubowski, Perry McCarty, Dr. Kara Nelson, Dr. Joan Rose, Dr. David Sedlak, and Dr. Timothy Wade.
