May 14. The forums will be held in Room 1313 at the National
Weather Center, located at 100 David L. Boren Blvd., in
Norman.
Wastewater recycling, reclamation, and reuse may be options
for many communities to augment their drinking water
supplies, especially in areas where fresh water resources are
limited. These efforts could also be a tool to help achieve the
goal set out under Oklahoma's "Water Act for 2060" - to use no
more fresh water in 2060 than was used in 2010 while
preserving Oklahoma's population growth and economic
development goals.
The first forum will help explain water quality and water
quantity management practices in Oklahoma, the current
regulatory environment for reuse of water resources, and a
brief summary of these matters as they relate to the 2012 date
of the Oklahoma Comprehensive Water Plan as well as help
lay the groundwork for the succeeding forums.
There is no fee for the public forum, however, participants are
asked to register at www.oklahomawatersurvey.org
