Annotated Bibliography"About SBWR." San Jose, CA.gov. Np, nd Web. March 16, 2014.• This site talks about San Jose, its plans and attempts to be greener and conserve water. The South Bay Water Recycling agency is the largest in the North Bay, and its goal is to make all water in San Jose and the areas that receive it 100 percent recyclable. Recycled water is used for myriad things, from irrigating food crops, parks, schools, golf courses, park landscaping, industrial processes, and even paper production. The SBWR provides approximately eleven million gallons of water to more than 690 people in Milpitas, Santa Clara and San Jose. Cahill, Ryan and Jay Lund. “Residential Water Conservation in Australia and California.” Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management (2012): n. page Print.• In this peer-reviewed article, they discuss water conservation in California, in relation to water conservation in Australia, as Australia and California have very similar climate, culture and economy. Even so, it appears that Australians are still able to use much less water than Californians. Throughout the article they discuss how this is done using facts and data related to residential water use in both California and Australia. They hope to significantly increase the amount of water conserved. “In a Dry California, Some Efforts to Save Water.” San Jose Mercury News. The Associated Press, March 16, 2014. Web. March 19, 2014.• In this article found online by the San Jose Mercury News, we talk about the drought that has occurred across California and the many ways Californians have tried to conserve water to increase local water reserves. ...... half the paper ...... they are using it. As water becomes increasingly scarce due to changing climate conditions and an ever-increasing population, water recycling becomes a more favorable method of water conservation. Thoren, Ryan I., Jim Atwater, and Pierre Berube. “A model for analyzing the potential for water reuse and resource recovery in urban areas.” Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering 39.11 (2012): 1202-209. Print.• As a result of a large population of people in highly urbanized areas, the pressure to maintain a continuous flow of water increases. In this peer-reviewed article he discusses water recycling in urban areas and studies different design models and studies how and which of the three is most efficient in terms of water quality and energy used. Different methods are used in these three models, such as a satellite water recovery plant, etc. to examine the potential for water reuse.
