“…The model results showed that the clay and gypsum content of soil, PW sodicity, and climate (aridity index) were important factors affecting the suitability of PW for irrigation. A water reclamation system expansion in Hillsborough County, Florida, was evaluated using a multi-objective optimization model being developed to assess its design sustainability in terms of economic, environmental, and social aspects (Rezaei, Sierra-Altamiranda, Diaz-Elsayed, Charkhgard, & Zhang, 2019). The results indicated that the decentralization of treatment facilities was more advantageous than the centralization of treatment facilities at the economic and environmental dimensions.…”

Literature published in 2019 pertinent to water reclamation and reuse has been classified into five sections: safe reuse, treatment technologies, management, assessment, and case studies. Membranes have been widely applied in integrated processes to polish secondary effluent and achieve high-quality reclaimed water. Increased efforts have also been made to facilitate feasible and safe water reuse.

“…Rezaei, Sierra‐Altamiranda, Diaz‐Alsayed, Charkhgard, and Zhang (2019) developed a multi‐objective model for optimization of wastewater management systems that accounted for economic and environmental factors. The study utilized the CPLEX 12.7 optimizer and Triangle Splitting Method (TSM) to reveal that the impact of population density and elevation variation favored the use of centralized treatment facilities.…”

“…Therefore, apart from improving water infrastructure and controlling pollution, water reclamation, and reuse through multiple sources is known to be a straightforward strategy to form a close-loop water supply chain for alleviating water supply pressure. [4] Desalination has been acknowledged as an essential alternative for conventional water reclamation technologies to tackle water shortage issues in many arid and water-stress regions. [5] Desalination of seawater can serve as a sustainable remedy to account for water issue as more than 97% of the water available on the Earth exist as brine water and sea covers more than 70% of the Earth surface.…”

With the change in climate patterns, rapid industrialization, and population growth, the increasing water and energy demand became a major concern in the past decades. Desalination has been touted as the answer to the global water crisis, due to its capability in producing high‐quality fresh water from saline water. The continual research and innovations in the desalination field have resulted in the commercialization of large‐scale desalination in many water scarce regions. In the energetic context, all desalination processes are energy intensive. With the necessity to make desalination a more affordable and sustainable process, the energy efficiency of desalination is becoming an important topic. Herein, it is aimed to provide insights into the recent efforts and strategies established to tackle the energy‐related issues of both, thermal‐based and membrane‐based desalination processes. Depending on the principle of various commercial and emerging desalination processes, the directions of energy efficiency improvements, which include operating condition optimization, high‐performance material development, and renewable energy exploitation are discussed. The ideas and strategies reviewed herein, whether in their implementation or theoretical stage, are expected to provide insights into the possible improvement for application in commercial desalination plants.
