Description	The State of California has a long history of water reclamation and reuse and in 1918 developed the first regulations in the United States to address the use of recycled water for agricultural irrigation. In California, as well as in many water-scarce areas, water reclamation, recycling, and reuse are integral components of water resource planning and management. Historically, the driving motivation for water recycling was to supplement scarce resources and to provide alternatives to effluent disposal into surface waters. The California State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) adopted a Recycled Water Policy that moves towards the sustainable management of surface waters and groundwater, together with enhanced water conservation, water reuse, and the use of stormwater. In California, the practice of planned potable reuse has occurred in the form of indirect potable reuse (IPR), including an environmental buffer, for over 50 years. California's experience has demonstrated that planned potable reuse using IPR can be practiced without having any apparent detrimental effects on public health.
