    Episode Notes

    Pure Potential: Colorado’s Path to Sustainable Water explores the challenges, research, and social acceptance surrounding potable reuse through the lens of a first-of-its-kind direct potable reuse (DPR) pilot trailer.

    Blair Corning is joined by Dr. Tzahi Cath with the Colorado School of Mines to break down the science behind carbon-based advanced treatment (CBAT) and reverse osmosis (RO), creating a “testbed” for innovations in programming and technologies, and more in the DPR mobile demonstration trailer. Join us as we uncover the innovations driving water reuse and conservation across Colorado.
