"OSU Researchers Tackle Oklahoma Droughts With Wastewater"

"Researchers at the Oklahoma State University South Central Research Station in Chickasha for the first time Monday will begin using wastewater to irrigate crops grown on one of its test fields.

The new irrigation equipment will pull treated wastewater from a city pipeline that runs underneath the 400-acre station.

'Every gallon of water that we’re able to reuse around here is one gallon less that we have to take out of the aquifers and lakes,' said Jim McClain, Director of Public Works for the City of Chickasha. 'We’re very committed to this situation.'"
