Enhancing the Method of Decentralized Multi-Purpose Reuse of Wastewater in Urban Area

Abstract

The reuse of treated wastewater is attractive as a communal source of excess water source in water-scarce counties and nations. The expansion of the urban population and the increase in the coverage of water supply networks and sewage networks will raise the amount of municipal sewage. This can turn into a new-fangled water resource. In the current research, the new campus city was selected as the first case study to design a wastewater reuse and recycling system. Accordingly, one of the most important innovations in the proposed research is the unique applied dimensions, in addition to its first-time performance, and the application of the Geo-land method in wastewater recycling as the theoretical dimension of the design. Clustering the decentralized reuse of wastewater for urban areas showed that significant parts of residential areas are located in the first high priority group. Urban planners can consider the results in establishing a comprehensive plan to prioritize the decentralized use of wastewater in the urban area.
