Engineers Are Awesome: Potable Water Treatment Out of Thin Air

Engineers Are Awesome: Potable Water Treatment Out of Thin Air An Alternative to Traditional Water Treatment UTEC and Mayo DraftFCB teamed up to create an amazing water treatment billboard in Lima, Peru, the second largest desert capital in the world.

At the time, the program would have helped supply water to over 120k households. Wastewater reuse programs suffer from a severe public relations problem; people just don’t want to drink water that was once in a toilet. Dubbed ‘toilet to tap’ by its critics, wastewater reuse programs worldwide have had difficulty overcoming the ‘yuck factor’ and gaining traction from the general public. Like Los Angeles, San Diego similarly rejected a water reuse project in 1999. Moving forward to 2008, San Diego has now successfully implemented a new
