This interactive information library is designed to help water reuse practitioners access relevant and important resources, including reports and publications, fact sheets, webinar recordings, and webpages. It provides a link and detailed information about each resource, such as its description, contributors, and use application. The library primarily features outputs from Water Reuse Action Plan (WRAP) actions, but also includes some resources not necessarily directly associated with WRAP activities. The number of entries will grow over time as more WRAP actions are completed, additional resources are identified, and water reuse collaborations expand. Based on user feedback, the navigation functions and other aspects of this library may evolve. Feel free to share feedback by emailing waterreuse@epa.gov.

Water Reuse Information Library

EPA’s Water Reuse Team has launched a new, interactive information library to help water reuse practitioners access relevant and important water reuse resources, including reports, fact sheets, webinar recordings, and webpages. This searchable library displays detailed information about each resource, such as its description, contributors, and use application. The library primarily features outputs from WRAP actions, but also includes some resources not necessarily directly associated with WRAP activities. The number of resources will grow over time as more WRAP actions are completed, additional resources are identified, and water reuse collaborations expand. Based on user feedback, the navigation functions and other aspects of this library may evolve over time. Feel free to share feedback by emailing waterreuse@epa.gov.

Information

Many actions contained in the WRAP produce outputs as an outgrowth of their work, often attributed to specific milestones within a WRAP action. This field is used to identify whether this resource is a product directly originating from a WRAP action and its constituent milestones.

Information

The National Water Reuse Action Plan (WRAP) is an organizing framework that defines actions intended to drive progress on reuse and address local and national barriers. These actions tackle a range of topics including technical, institutional, and financial barriers. This field is used to identify whether this resource is associated with the work of a specific WRAP action.
