About reclaimed water<\/h3><\/div>
Reclaimed water is purified wastewater that receives additional treatment. It is optimal for industrial, municipal, agricultural and environmental uses, as well as for irrigating golf courses and recharging aquifers.<\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1644227399293{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”]Wastewater reuse is a common occurrence in0 most basins as treatment plants discharge their effluents into fluvial courses that are once collected downstream. This is called unplanned reuse.<\/p>\n

In 2009, the Water Reuse Program in Catalonia (PRAC) was published, which defined a series of proposals for management and investment in reuse. Although the potential of regenerated water to improve water availability in Catalonia is widely recognized in all published studies, there are still many barriers that limit its application.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1560422445652{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”]

Barriers to the reclaimed water use<\/h3><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space]
    \n
  • Significant economic cost<\/strong> as it involves the construction of specific infrastructure (treatment and distribution), as well as the operating costs necessary to achieve the qualities set out in current regulations.<\/li>\n
  • Environmental impact<\/strong> resulting from the implementation of regeneration and reuse schemes.<\/li>\n
  • Negative public acceptance<\/strong> because it is perceived as a vector of disease transmission.<\/li>\n
  • Ignorance<\/strong> of users on the behaviour and toxicity of pollutants in wastewater.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1560847972820{margin-bottom: -10px !important;}”]
