Examining the current literature, research, and relevant case
studies, presented by a team of international experts, the Urban
Water Reuse Handbook discusses the pros and cons of water reuse and
explores new and alternative methods for obtaining a sustainable
water supply. The book defines water reuse guidelines, describes
the historical and current development of water reuse, and includes
previously implemented methodologies and practices relevant to
urban wastewater treatment. It considers the sustainability of
water resources and supply systems in both urban and rural areas.
The book discusses the advantages of water reuse (reduced water
consumption, cost-savings, a secure groundwater replenishment
source, and a long-term water supply) and outlines the
disadvantages (a build-up of chemical pollutants in the soil, the
probable contamination of groundwater attributed to reclaimed
water, and possible human health risks related to the presence of
viruses and bacteria). It also proposes ethical and cultural
considerations, discusses the economic and environmental
performance of water systems relevant to water reuse, and outlines
associated methods and strategies that can address problems of
water scarcity. In addition, this handbook addresses: Constructed
wetlands in surrounding urban areas Water reuse in specific
regions, coastal areas, cold regions, arid zones Application of
wastewater for hydroelectric power generation Traditional systems
of water reuse Combining harvesting systems and water reuse
structures Warning systems for wastewater access control Public
participation and implementation issues Groundwater recharge by
unconventional water Urban water reuse policy A resourceful guide
dedicated to the reuse of urban wastewater, the Urban Water Reuse
Handbook focuses on wastewater treatment, recycling, and reuse for
the conservation of water resources. This book serves as a
reference for water resource engineers, urban hydrologists, and
planning professionals; for water/wastewater engineers, students,
policy makers, and researchers.
