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 professional.
