Feb. 22

The U.S. wastewater recycling and reuse industry is projected to grow annually by 8.8 percent, reaching $3.3 billion in total revenue by 2010, according to a technical market research report from BCC Research.

The underlying market is heading into a replacement phase, as the industry is seeing significant technological innovation that will make technologies accessible to a larger number of buyers, according to the Norwalk, Conn.-based research firm.

Landscape and agricultural irrigation make up the largest share of water reuse. The amount of water reused in the United States will grow annually by 11.1 percent through 2010, according to the report. Issues such as drought, tougher regulatory restrictions on wastewater and potable water, and increased public awareness will influence the recycling and reuse industry.
