Water reuse has traditionally been encouraged as one facet of conserving a limited naturalresource. However, as water demands threaten, at least regionally, to eclipse supply, past policiesare proving inadequate to avoid the flashpoint when reuse of return flows and the interests inprotecting downstream water users and the environment collide.
