This WEF publication serves as a comprehensive summary of water reclamation technologies and practices for minimizing liquid discharge for a broad range of industries. It begins with an overview of factors influencing industry to seek to minimize liquid discharges, followed by a review of alternative technologies, performance expectations, management framework, sustainability tools, and concludes with case studies with input from academia, equipment manufacturers, consultants, and industry. This publication will be of use to practitioners, consultants, management, and R&D professionals who want a timely update on the technologies in use and on those technologies on the horizon to provide the highest rates of water recovery in industrial practice. The industrial sectors covered include the oil and gas sector (unconventional oil and gas, produced and petroleum refining water), pharmaceutical, textile, automotive, manufacturing, energy, and food and beverage. The book covers a much broader perspective than North America, including technology development and sustainable applications within the water scarce yet growing regions of Central and South America, Asia, and the Middle East.

This book offers a broad and global level description of the current status of wastewater use in agriculture and then brings the readers to various places in the MENA Region and Europe to explain how some countries and regions have addressed the challenges during implementation. On a global scale, over 20 million hectares of agricultural land are irrigated using wastewater. This is one good, and perhaps the most prominent, example of the safe use potential of wastewater. Water scarcity and the cost of energy and fertilisers are among the main factors driving millions of farmers and other entrepreneurs to make use of wastewater. In order to address the technical, institutional, and policy challenges of safe water reuse, developing countries and countries in transition need clear institutional arrangements and more skilled human resources, with a sound understanding of the opportunities and potential risks of wastewater use. Stakeholders in wastewater irrigation who need to implement from scratch or improve current conditions, find it difficult to gather the necessary information on practical implementation aspects. The main objective of this book is to bridge that gap.
