| Abstract |
Reuse of wastewater will intensify in the coming decades due to water shortage the change of climatic conditions the need for industrial and agricultural use and the necessity of improving health and environmental conditions for the growing population. This paper considers (a) the status and trends of wastewater reuse and reclamation in the world (b) case studies of wastewater reuse projects (c) analysis of technology level (d) forecast of global market and (e) the future views and directions in development of wastewater reuse technologies. Based on the available documented literature this paper provides a review assessment of the current status of the wastewater treatment processes including potential applications for reuse. Key challenges for both wastewater treatment and reuse are also discussed in the paper and include recommendations e.g. cost effluent water quality energy use and technical solutions for future developments. |
