Water Reuse Special Issue on:


Future-Oriented Technologies and Concepts to Increase Water Availability by Water Reuse and Desalination

 

Sufficient supply of water of adequate quality is essential for human physical wellbeing as well as for sustainable regional development and for an intact environment. However, the pressure on available freshwater resources due to urbanization and climate change impacts is increasing worldwide, making it necessary to explore unconventional resources. Water reuse and desalination are viable options for alternative water supplies, both for classical arid regions and even for densely populated industrial areas.

However, these solutions need to be tailored to local conditions. There is increasing interest in developing new planning tools, technological solutions and approaches in this field to foster safe and economically viable water reuse and desalination applications.

The funding measure WavE is financed by the German Federal Ministry of Research and Education (BMBF) within the focal topic “Sustainable Water Management” as part of the framework programme “Research on Sustainable Development” and the research agenda on Green Economy. WavE is aimed at developing innovative technologies and management concepts to realize a sustainable increase in water availability.

This Special Issue brings together research on contemporary approaches to evaluate new technologies and concepts in non-potable water reuse applications, multi-barrier concepts for potable and non-potable reuse applications, concepts for industrial reuse and resource recovery approaches for brine streams, as well as onsite desalination technologies for developing communities.
