Water and Wastewater Reuse
- An Environmentally Sound Approach
for Sustainable Urban Water Management
 Water
scarcity and water pollution pose a critical challenge in many developing countries.
In urban areas, it is becoming difficult for the authorities to manage water
supply and wastewater. Strategies for water and wastewater reuse can improve
urban water management.
This publication provides introductory guidelines for these strategies. The
important aspects to minimize public health risks are identified. The possibilities
of wastewater reuse in agriculture, industry, urban uses, and environmental
water enhancement including groundwater recharge are discussed with the help
of practical examples.
The capacity building policy-making, institutional strengthening, financial
mechanisms, and awareness raising and stakeholder participation are vital to
implement these strategies for wastewater reuse.
