Water Conserv II is the largest water reuse project of its kind in the world, located in Orlando, FL. This innovative program, developed through a partnership between the City of Orlando, Orange County, and the Agricultural Community, combines agricultural irrigation with aquifer recharge to eliminate discharge to surface waters and meet the state's wastewater treatment requirements.
With a focus on agricultural irrigation, Water Conserv II utilizes rapid infiltration basins (RIBs) to recharge the Floridan aquifer, Florida's primary drinking water source, with excess flows during wet weather periods. The project's reclaimed water, which meets the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's standards, is permitted for use on public access sites, including residences, golf courses, food crops, nurseries, and more. This example of engineering ingenuity and state-of-the-art technology showcases the successful implementation of cooperative water reuse for over 30 years.
