Good Magazine’s water issue from July has a lot of informative articles & case studies — it’s all about ‘How to make the most of the water we have.’

A few relevant articles:

Clean, Clear Water (5 case studies of water purification products)

Don’t Love That Dirty Water (3 innovative solutions on a broad scale – with comprehensive implementation strategies)

And a striking fact (that ties into the first ‘Day without Taps’ water diary):
