North America: Creating beer from recycled water

January 15, 2017 1 MIN READ

A coalition of WateReuse members recently won the $250,000 (USD) New Arizona Water Prize: Water Innovation Challenge with a proposal to create an effluent-to-potable reuse technology, statewide mobile public engagement campaign and local craft beer competition. The coalition of winners includes Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department, Tucson Water, Marana Water, Carollo Engineers, CH2M, University of Arizona, WateReuse Arizona and Clean Water Services. The team also won the $2,500 Audience Choice award and a prize of up to $50,000 from the WaterNow Alliance for additional technical assistance. The highlight of the project will be a Craft Beer Challenge, which will coincide with the 32nd Annual WateReuse Symposium in Phoenix, September 10-13.
