Unbottled Drinking Water- Quality Standards in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Water is crucial for sustaining life, and everyone should have access to a safe and adequate water supply. Access to safe water is a fundamental right and is essential for public health. International policymakers and experts have continuously highlighted the importance of water, sanitation, and hygiene for the health risk and development of modern societies (WHO, 2022).

Experiences from Performance Based Non-Revenue Water Reduction Contracts
Non-Revenue Water (NRW) is the term used to describe water that has been produced, supplied and is lost before it reaches the intended customer. These losses can occur due to various factors such as leaks in distribution pipes, unauthorized water use (theft), or inaccuracies in metering systems. Effectively managing NRW is critical for utilities as it directly impacts operational efficiency, financial sustainability, and the ability to provide a reliable and sustainable water supply to customers.

Compendium of Recycle and Reuse of Wastewater in 54 Million Plus Cities
Due to alarming population explosion coupled with rapid urbanization and industrialization, catering to good quality potable water and also the treatment of wastewater have become a major challenge. With decreasing availability of freshwater and increasing costs for delivering acceptable water quality and quantity due to long distant sources, cities are facing numerous challenges in achieving efficient service delivery. Due to vagaries in rainfall pattern and dwindling of groundwater resources, different parts of the country are not getting adequate and reliable water resources for various purposes, pushing the nation's water systems to the brink and forced to think about alternatives.

Progress on Change in Water Use Efficiency
Water use efficiency (WUE) is calculated as the sum of the efficiency of the three main economic sectors expressed as the sectoral Gross Value Added (GVA) per water use (USD/m3). WUE provides an estimation of the reliance of the economic growth of a country on the use of its water resources. The change in WUE measures the capacity of the economy to grow without overexploiting its water resources.

Atlantic Canada Water Supply Guidelines May 2022
The approval process for water supply, treatment and distribution varies from province to province, and can include multiple overlapping agencies. In all cases, the System Owner should seek early clarification from the respective province as to whether an approval for construction, modification, or operation will apply to the project before it advances. In some cases, an approval is needed for the vertical assets (e.g., Water Treatment Plant (WTP), storage reservoir, and pump station) but is not required for linear assets, such as extensions to local distribution piping.

Onsite Water Reuse Systems In San Francisco, United States
San Francisco (SF) is a densely populated major economic hub in Northern California with high economic dynamism and fast population growth. SF used to have a non-diversified water supply system, which heavily relied on the longdistance transfer of surface freshwater. Since the end of the 20th century, increasing water consumption and repeated droughts have resulted in water stress, forcing local authorities to explore alternative water sources.
