The United Nations predicts that by the year 2025, two-thirds of
the world’s population will face water scarcity. Further, the
planet would have well over eight billion people, the majority of
whom would live in developing countries, where more than 80% of
those are already experiencing water scarcity. Therefore, there is
an urgent need for wastewater recycling to help solve issues of
scarcity and to facilitate better management of generated
wastewater. Water recycling includes reuse and treatment of
municipal wastewater, which could be a sustainable approach for
environmental sustainability and could also help to offset the
increasing water demands for irrigation and industrial and other
needs. Currently, water and wastewater treatment facilities consume
large amounts of energy that are mainly generated through the use
of fossil fuels. Solar Powered Wastewater Recycling examines how
solar power can be implemented as an integrated approach whereby
all the energy needs of the water and wastewater sector could be
supplemented by renewable technologies, and in which a synergy can
be developed between water and energy.
