This powerpoint presentation begins by presenting the following questions: how common (or rare) is wastewater (WW) effluentpresence in drinking water sources(a watershed analysis);are there chemical signatures of wastewater impactson drinking water sources(bulk effluent organic matter (EfOM) components, effluent-derived organic micropollutants); how sensitive are these chemical signatures(WW-dominated (> 50 % WW effluent),WW-impacted (10 - 50 % WW effluent), andWW-minimally-impacted (< 10 % WW effluent); and,can the problem of wastewater-impacted drinkingwater sources be managed from the perspective ofWW-derived organics- case studies of intentional/planned (indirect) potable reuse. Includes tables, figures.
