Water Reclamation and Reuse

Abstract

A review of the literature published in 2011 on topics relating to water reclamation and reuse is presented. This review is divided into the following sections: (1) General: extent of reuse, research needs, guidelines and monitoring, and health effects, (2)Treatment technologies: integrated process design, membrane treatment, membrane bioreactors, electrocoagulation, ion exchange and adsorption, wetlands, managed aquifer recharge, and (3) Planning and Management: public acceptance and education, economics/pricing, water quality planning and management and project/case studies. It can be seen from this review that treatment technology research has mainly focused on membranes and other innovative technologies.
