10 California DPR Update SWRCB Feasibility Report Expert Panel Report Advisory Group Report Released on Sept 8, 2016:

11 Overall CA Expert Panel Finding It is feasible to develop uniform water recycling criteria for DPR that would incorporate a level of public health protection as good as or better than what is currently provided in California by conventional drinking water supplies and IPR systems

12 New Publication: Potable Reuse Research Compilation: Synthesis of Findings (WRRF #15-01) Objective: Summarize and synthesize key results of 34 research projects on DPR undertaken as part of WateReuse s DPR Initiative. Publication: Collection of nine synthesis documents Provide a better understanding of the state-of-the-science on DPR and identify remaining research needs. Organize into one cohesive summary document and provide to the Expert Panel to help complete its charge. PI: NWRI and George Tchobanoglous WE&RF Project Manager: Julie Minton 12
