Reusing water - Sustainable water resources

While nearly 70% of the planet is covered with water, only 2.5% is freshwater and of this, only 1% is accessible. Water sources are becoming scarcer as time passes. Around the world, people are becoming more environmentally conscious and it is time to streamline water treatment more and optimise the treatment process and make it more environmentally friendly. Water reuse, including salt and brackish water and industrial water are a few areas where sustainability can be achieved. Reuse is the process of treating wastewater, saltwater, rainwater, greywater, etc. to be reused as freshwater such as drinking water or in industrial processes or discharged into surface water or into the ground as groundwater. Several new and improved water technologies have been developed in recent years in light of a sustainable era.

Water reuse - Sustainable Water Sources

While nearly 70 percent of the planet is covered by water, only 2.5% is freshwater, and only 1% of such water is accessible. Water sources are more scarce as time goes by and with ever-increasing awareness of environmental issues throughout the world, it is time to streamline and optimise the water treatment process and make it more environmentally friendly.

Water reuse, including both brackish and sea water, and Industrial reuse are the two main areas where sustainability can become a reality. Water reuse, is the process of treating wastewater, stormwater, saltwater or graywater and treating it for a designated freshwater purpose such as drinking, industrial processes, surface or ground water replenishment.

Several new technologies and improvements in the water industry have been developed in the latest years and are the light to a more sustainable era.
