An assessment of technological development and applications of decentralized water reuse: A critical review and conceptual framework

Rapid development, urbanization, and population growth have contributed to water stress in many parts of the world. As freshwater sources are finite, it is essential source for alternatives ensure security. Reclamation non-conventional (i.e., rainwater greywater) can be a viable alternative alleviate stress. In this work, various laboratory, pre-commercialization scale, commercialized products harvesting greywater treatment reuse were reviewed. result, conceptual framework proposed provide an overview on applicability technologies under settings, which mapped against intended use treated potential supply expansion. This could aid decision makers deciding suitable decentralized solution reclamation depending limiting criteria. Decentralized systems going crucial reducing dependence centralized supply. article categorized under: Engineering Water > Planning Life Conservation, Management, Awareness Science Quality
