Annotated bibliography “About SBWR. » San Jose, CA.gov. Np, and Web. March 16, 2014.• This website talks about San Jose, its projects and its attempts to be greener and conserve water. The South Bay Water Recycling Agency is the largest in the North Bay and its goal is to make all water in San Jose and the areas that receive it 100% recyclable. Recycled water is used for a multitude of things: irrigation of food crops, parks, schools, golf courses, park landscaping, industrial processes and even for papermaking. The SBWR provides approximately eleven million gallons of water to more than 690 people in Milpitas, Santa Clara and San Jose.

Print.• In this peer-reviewed article they discuss water conservation in California, in relation to water conservation in Australia, as Australia and California have a similar climate, culture and very similar economies. Despite this, it appears that Australians are still able to use much less water than Californians. Throughout the article, they explain how this happens using facts and data about residential water use in California and Australia. They hope to significantly increase the amount of water conserved. “In dry California, some efforts to save water. » San Jose Mercury News. The Associated Press, March 16, 2014. Web. March 19, 2014.• In this article found online in the San Jose Mercury News, they discuss the drought that has occurred throughout California and the many ways Californians have tried to conserve water in order to increase local water reserves. ...... middle of paper ...... I use it. As water becomes more scarce due to changing climate conditions and an ever-increasing population, water recycling is becoming a more favorable method of water conservation. Thoren, Ryan I., Jim Atwater and Pierre Bérubé. “A model for analyzing water reuse and resource recovery potential in urban areas.” Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering 39.11 (2012): 1202-209. Print.• Due to the large population in highly urbanized areas, the pressure to maintain a continuous flow of water increases. In this peer-reviewed article he discusses water recycling in urban areas and investigates different design models and investigates how and which of the three are most efficient in terms of water quality and energy used . In these three models, they use different methods such as satellite water harvesting plant etc. to examine the potential for water reuse..
