Abstract
Many utilities are currently using drinking water sources impacted by wastewater discharge and others are planning for or implementing indirect potable reuse via groundwater recharge systems. The use of water sources impacted by wastewater has raised public concerns due to the presence of trace organic contaminants. Many wastewater-derived organic compounds are often present at extremely low concentrations and no standardized analytical methods are available. This study proposes that simple to measure surrogates (bulk parameters) and indicators (individual organic compounds) can be used together to assess the performance of soil aquifer treatment and membrane systems treating recycled water containing wastewater-derived organic contaminants. Potential surrogates and indicators were identified and validated in the field at full-scale soil-aquifer treatment and membrane systems.
