This Technical Practice Update (TPU) is focused on providing guidance on sustainability metrics and terminology as a basis for clear communication. The water sector has been applying sustainability principles for many years, by considering social, economic, and environmental effects when evaluating water sources; by designing wastewater treatment facilities to reduce environmental effects on the receiving waters; and providing reuse of water to reduce economic, environmental, and social burdens caused by over-extraction of water. This TPU will help water professionals to understand the terminology of sustainability and the main metrics used to assess and measure sustainability.
