Abstract: The average Californian uses 48 gallons of water per day. This can be from your morning shower, your toilet flushes, or you washing your hands. When using this water, many do not think about where this water goes or comes from. Many believe that the wastewater goes straight to the ocean, however this is untrue. Instead, wastewater undergoes an extensive process of filtration and treatment before it is released back into a body of water like the ocean or reservoirs so that it can return to the natural water cycle. California has a harsh history with water supply with its residents often facing constant drought. Therefore, it is vital that the wastewater treatment process is made as effective and efficient as possible to make the best use of the water that is available.
Keywords: wastewater, recharge, sludge, groundwater, sustainability.
