Water Reuse Facts

The regional water planning groups in Texas estimated that existing supply from water reuse is projected to produce about 614,000 acre-feet of water per year by 2060.
Thirteen of the sixteen regional water planning groups (exceptions are Regions D, J and P) have recommended water reuse as a water management strategy in their 50-year plans.
Approximately 1.5 million acre-feet of reclaimed water is projected to be available for use in Texas in the year 2060 if all recommended reuse strategies are fully implemented.
On average this constitutes about 10 percent of all new supplies from all recommended water management strategies in the year 2060.
Region H has, by far, the largest volume of reuse water planned for use by 2060, followed by Region C. Projected availability of reclaimed water for Regions H and C by 2060 are 282,274 acre-feet per year, and 273,289 acre-feet per year, respectively.
