Tetra Tech’s full lifecycle work with One Water programs provides a foundation for our thriving, industry-leading water reuse solutions. One Water shifts the linear model of water management to a circular strategy, emphasizing recovery, recycling, and reuse. Under a One Water approach, utilities manage the full spectrum of water resources holistically, balancing ecosystem processes with the needs of communities, industry, agriculture, and habitats. Our experience with reuse programs includes project feasibility; bench, pilot, and demonstration scale facilities; permitting; regulatory compliance; design; and operational intelligence.
