Wastewater

Story By Laura Markowitz

October 7, 2009

There is no resource more precious and more endangered in Southern Arizona than water. Each of us uses an average of 96 gallons of potable water per day.

Faced with uncertainty about how climate change will affect our water resources, Pima County and the City of Tucson recently formed a joint Water and Wastewater Oversight Committee to plan for a sustainable water future.

Producer Laura Markowitz follows the flow of wastewater in Pima County and describes a water-saving alternative to flushing that has been embraced by a neighborhood in Marana
