Where Is the Most Water Reuse Taking Place?
Water reuse is becoming increasingly important as water scarcity becomes prevalent throughout the world. Whether it’s referred to as water reuse, water recycling, water reclamation, or another name, the resulting purified wastewater can be used in many applications, both potable and nonpotable. In some places, water reuse has been slow to catch on, particularly because of the so-called ...

Why the Value of Water Reuse is Often Underestimated
Traditional economic feasibility studies tend to focus exclusively on internal costs, missing out on much of the value that water reuse brings to the table Economic feasibility studies often decide the fate of water reuse projects, but the assessment methods generally weigh internal costs such as distribution and treatment requirements much more heavily than external benefits like environmental ...

The need for a novel method for achieving zero effluent-discharge status for ethanol distilleries: spentwash colour removal by reverse osmosis
Sustained industrial scale production of ethanol in India is dependent on the earliest possible implementation of zero effluent discharge. High pollution parameters of effluent made it commercially impossible. An urgent need for developing a method to attain a zero discharge status for distilleries was essential. The presently tried and tested methods had limitations for conclusive disposal of ...

Decentralized Water Reuse - Case Study
Water is an integral part of our society today. This vital resource is used in the operations of many industrial processes, human consumption, and for food production to name just a few. The increasing demands for water for agricultural, drinking and industrial processes has put significant strain on global fresh water supplies as the world's population continues to grow. In many parts of the ...

It’s a Great Time for Water Reuse in the US
Water reuse offers a sustainable solution for building climate resilience and water security, while maintaining the environmental integrity of freshwater systems As water scarcity becomes more and more of a reality both in the United States and across the world, decision-makers are turning to alternative sources of water to supplement conventional water supplies. Wastewater that has been treated ...

Aerated biofilter with seasonally varied operation modes for the production of irrigation water
Water reuse for agricultural irrigation can contribute to the conservation of valuable water resources and opens the possibility to reuse the wastewater's nutrients (N and P) at the same time. As irrigation is usually limited to vegetation periods, effluent requirements for treated wastewater may vary seasonally. A process concept for wastewater treatment with variable operation modes for the ...

Incidental potable water reuse in a Catalonian basin: living downstream
A preliminary assessment of incidental potable water reuse (IPR) in the Llobregat River basin has been conducted by estimating the dilution factor of treated effluent discharges upstream of six river flow measurement sections. IPR in the Llobregat River basin is an everyday occurrence, because of the systematic discharge of treated effluents upstream of river sections used as drinking water ...

Prediction and evaluation of natural self–restoration of the water of Mahmoudiya canal, western part of Nile Delta, Egypt
The objectives of this paper are to study the effect of discharge of Zarqun drain into Mahmoudiya canal on the natural self–purification along the canal stream and to suggest and simulate different scenarios to improve the water quality of the Mahmoudia canal system to safely discharge water of Zarqun drain into it. Natural self–purification model based on oxygen sag curve introduced by Streeter ...

The water profile and the policies that need to be developed for the promotion of wastewater reuse in the Mediterranean countries: the case of Cyprus, Jordan and Lebanon
The continued population growth, the contamination of both surface water and groundwater, the uneven distribution of water resources and periodic droughts have forced the water agencies to search for new sources of water supply. Use of highly treated wastewater effluents, now discharged to the environment from municipal wastewater treatment plants, is receiving more attention as a reliable water ...

Australian Cities Adopt Wastewater Reuse
Getting past old attitudes is a key to keeping up with growing water needs Potable reuse of wastewater has gone by many different names, some of them unflattering, like “toilet to tap.” Despite the clear benefits of water reuse, this so-called “ick factor” has slowed the adoption of technology that can transform wastewater into drinking water. Indirect potable reuse ...
