在德克萨斯州埃尔帕索市实施废水再利用项目是一个关键问题 埃尔帕索水务设施总体水资源管理方面 策略埃尔帕索每年的降雨量不到7英寸，并且 它的大部分水源来自不断减少的含水层。因此，灌溉 对大型草皮区域的要求很高，可用的供水量也很低 逐渐减少。再生水是一种必须使用的水源 发达的。埃尔帕索的饮用水盐度（或TDS）约为700 mg/L。该饮用水产生的回收废水具有盐度 约1100 mg/L。本文简要概述了El Paso的再利用计划 包括公共教育项目，协助使用最佳管理 实践、土壤调查，以及在现有土壤中使用再生水的协助 灌溉系统。

The implementation of a wastewater reuse program in El Paso, Texas, is a critical aspect of the El Paso Water Utilities overall water resources management strategy. El Paso receives less than 7 inches of rainfall per year and obtains the majority of its water supply from a dwindling aquifer. Thus, the irrigation requirements for large turf areas are high and the available water supply is diminishing. Reclaimed water represents a water supply source that must be developed. The potable water in El Paso has a salinity (or TDS) of around 700 mg/L. The reclaimed wastewater generated from this potable water has a salinity of around 1,100 mg/L. This paper briefly outlines El Paso's reuse program which included a public education program, assistance with using best management practices, a soil survey, and assistance with using reclaimed water in existing irrigation systems.
