Fresh, safe, potable water is a resource that experts have been warning has been diminishing for years. One of the best solutions to replenish the supply is to re-use our wastewater-but there are concerns about the best way to do this.

In Part 2 of this Q&A, hear about how efficiency is important from the city level to the country level.
