Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Water News Roundup: Colorado River Lawsuit, Cyber Threats and StormCon Takeaways
Q: Is Arizona actually in a water crisis?
Porter acknowledges that the situation is nuanced: while there is not an immediate water shortfall, the Colorado River is increasingly unreliable, and planning around this uncertainty is essential for the state.
Beyond Treatment: Building Resilient and Sustainable Water Reuse Projects
Q: All right. What's one widely held assumption about water reuse that has proven to be incorrect?
The guest challenges the notion that portable reuse is intrinsically cost-prohibitive, highlighting mature treatment technologies, matrix-specific design considerations, and comparable or lower costs versus alternative water supply options in many cases.
Beyond Treatment: Building Resilient and Sustainable Water Reuse Projects
Q: What aspects of potable reuse are currently overemphasized, and which ones are underestimated?
Technology and treatment have a solid track record, but the guest stresses that systems thinking and human capital are often underestimated and essential for integrating silos and ensuring long-term success.
Beyond Treatment: Building Resilient and Sustainable Water Reuse Projects
Q: If you could shift the industry's focus, what's one water reuse conversation we should be having right now that we're not?
The guest argues that water reuse should be viewed as a core water supply strategy rather than solely a drought response, emphasizing holistic systems thinking, regional drivers, and the hidden economics that make reuse a multi-benefit tool across the U.S.
Revolutionizing Water Management: The Circular Water Economy
Q: What are the main barriers to achieving a circular water economy, and can we address them?
The biggest barriers are silos in design and regulation, plus the need for better incentives to reward utilities for reducing losses and reusing water; overcoming these requires cross-sector collaboration and consumer education to unlock the full cycle of water management.
