Barriers in Implementation of Wastewater Reuse: Identifying the Way Forward in Closing the Loop

Abstract The business case for circular economy in water management perspective has gain relevance the recent times. By 2030, it is estimated that 160% of global total available will be required to satisfy demand anthropogenic-related activities and increasing waste-related produced. Gaps on conceptual framing reuse within supply chain are clearly emerging decision support systems helping at assessing effective consumption industrial setting pressing. Despite numerous local initiatives towards wastewater resource usage, barriers remain its implementation practice. Through a systematic review previous studies this field, uptake use agriculture were classified according PESTEL (political, economic, social, technological, environmental legal) framework. Alongside political legal support, identified an economically environmentally sustainable scheme incentivising deployment feasible technologies, there also need acceptance usage society order enhance existing technological solutions. Addressing these factors tandem can aid development wastewater.
