This article provides an analysis of the status of research needs in the area of drinking water quality. It emphasizes factors relating to water reuse in areas of high population density and intensive industrialization. The article includes a discussion by A.P. Black and J.J. Morgan that summarizes the major themes in the author's discussion of research needs in drinking water, and discusses how to focus on the high‐priority problems that require immediate attention. The article recommends that all conventional treatment processes be re‐examined to make them more effective in achieving the goal of producing safe and aesthetically pleasing water.
