Phoenix takes aggressive steps in reusing waste water (Phoenix is approaching 100% reuse) treating waste for reuse in power production, irrigation, and recharge. This makes Phoenix a test bed for infrastructure and processes that can benefit other areas of the globe who are at high risk of drought.
