Agricultural Reuse

In 2012, WE&RF began to partner with agricultural organizations to jointly understand the nutrient contributions of point and non-point sources and to provide peer-reviewed tools to minimize nutrient runoff into receiving waters. This effort has recently expanded into the areas of agricultural reuse, nutrient recovery and codigestion.

Below you will find the latest resources and research projects related to WE&RF's agricultural water reuse efforts.
