This article focuses on wastewater reclamation in the U.S. as of October 2005. Currently, the United States produces the most reclaimed water in the world, averaging about 2.6 billion gallons daily. However, some state regulatory agencies have just begun to recognize the value of reclaimed water. Many states recently have developed their first water reuse and reclamation regulations or are in the process of doing so. Most water reuse projects are located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas.
