Business dress
Business casual is the norm for water-sector technical conferences; utility staff often wear business attire or branded polo shirts. Bring a light layer because session rooms can be cool.
Session etiquette
Sessions are technical and Q&A is common. Identify your utility, agency, or firm when asking a question so speakers can give a relevant answer, and keep vendor questions focused on performance data and operating experience.

Glossary
- Potable reuse
- The treatment of municipal wastewater to drinking-water quality for direct or indirect supply.
- Indirect potable reuse (IPR)
- Recycled water is treated and then returned to a drinking water source such as a groundwater basin or surface reservoir before later treatment and use.
- Direct potable reuse (DPR)
- Highly treated recycled water is introduced directly into a drinking water treatment plant or distribution system without an environmental buffer.
- Advanced water treatment (AWT)
- A multi-barrier treatment train, often including membrane filtration, reverse osmosis, and UV/AOP, used to produce high-quality recycled water.
- Membrane bioreactor (MBR)
- A biological treatment process that combines activated sludge with membrane separation to produce clarified, low-turbidity effluent for reuse.
- Reverse osmosis (RO)
- A pressure-driven membrane process that removes dissolved salts, organics, and many contaminants; it is a core barrier in potable reuse and desalination.
- UV advanced oxidation (UV/AOP)
- A treatment step that combines UV light with an oxidant such as hydrogen peroxide to destroy trace organic compounds.
- Groundwater replenishment
- Managed recharge of recycled water into an aquifer for storage, hydraulic barrier, or later recovery.
- Nonpotable reuse
- Recycled water used for irrigation, cooling, toilet flushing, industrial processes, or other non-drinking applications.
- Purple pipe
- A common color code for nonpotable recycled water piping, used to prevent cross-connections with drinking water.
- Total dissolved solids (TDS)
- The concentration of dissolved salts and minerals in water; high TDS affects treatment design, irrigation use, and concentrate management.
- Brine or concentrate management
- Handling and disposal or recovery of the salty reject stream from membrane and desalination processes.
