Worldwide, reclaimed water is increasingly seen as a valuable substitute for natural water resources.  In 2019 DWA has published an extensive report covering a variety of aspects to be considered within the scope of non-potable water reuse. This article provides an overview of and excerpts from that DWA Topics issue “Non-Potable Water Reuse – Development, Technologies and International Framework Conditions for Agricultural, Urban and Industrial Uses”. The DWA Topics issue is available at the DWA Shop.
