Legionnaires disease is a multisystem disease which causes pneumonia due to gram-negative bacteria (Legionella spp.) found in freshwater environments around the world. Humans are infected by inhalation of aerosols containing Legionella. The infection can be fatal and outbreaks from a common environmental source can occur. [1]. People become infected when they breathe in air that contains tiny droplets of water known as aerosols, inside of which are the Legionella bacteria. If the bacteria get inhaled into the lungs they can cause infection. [1].

"In the face of ever-growing demand, wastewater is gaining momentum as a reliable alternative source of water, shifting the paradigm of wastewater management from `treatment and disposal` to `reuse, recycle and resource recovery`. (...). In the context of a circular economy, whereby economic development is balanced with the protection of natural resources and environmental sustainability, wastewater represents a widely available and valuable resource." As the United Nations points out, wastewater reuse should be seen as a sustainable management of water resources. We have technological solutions that allow us to treat wastewater up to the level of quality needed, thus reducing the effort caused in natural resources.

Military actions, regardless of where they operate, always depend on a consistent and reliable supply of high quality water, often not only for the military but also for civilians. The individual consumption of water is variable and depends on many factors, the most important being the climate.
