Treat, Reuse, Repeat: Advancing Toward Zero Liquid Discharge
- As freshwater quality declines and demand rises, how is the sector advancing reuse strategies to meet tightening pollutant regulations, and ensure a safe, sustainable supply? What can we learn from the countries and regions leading the way?
- How are utilities navigating the energy, chemical, and infrastructure demands of reuse? What innovations are helping reduce resource intensity, and how can decentralised wastewater treatment systems support zero-liquid discharge goals to tackle scarcity?
- With treatment costs exceeding those of freshwater abstraction, what technologies or business models are improving the economics of reuse?
