A Compendium of Standards for Wastewater Reuse in the Eastern Mediterranean Region
A Compendium of Standards for Wastewater Reuse in the Eastern Mediterranean Region
Source : https://www.who.int/
Introduction
This compendium provides an overview of the quality standards for the reuse of treated wastewater in countries of the Eastern Mediterranean Region.
Information was collected through surveys and from the Centre for Environmental Health Activities (CEHA), who contacted countries requesting that ministries of health provide pertinent standards and regulations for wastewater reuse quality standards in their countries. Available standards are summarized for Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Yemen.

Building-Scale Treatment for Direct Potable Water Reuse and Intelligent Control for Real Time Performance Monitoring Project (Pure Water SF)
Potable water reuse systems, whether centralized or decentralized, need to provide consistent high-quality water produced from a multiple barrier treatment system. In the United States, potable reuse projects have successfully produced high-quality water from a range of treatment systems from about 1 million gallons per day (mgd) to more than 100 mgd. This project adds to the body of knowledge for demonstrated project successes as it addresses the challenges of operating and maintaining small and decentralized purification systems. Currently, SFPUC uses a constructed wetland system to treat the wastewater generated in its headquarters building for non-potable reuse. PureWaterSF added to the existing system a demonstration direct potable reuse (DPR) building-scale treatment process that included ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, and an ultraviolet advanced oxidation process (UF/RO/UV AOP) to purify the tertiary recycled water effluent from the wetland system. The treatment train, which treats approximately 80 percent of the water from the wetland system, was designed to have a small footprint and produce high-quality water that is able to meet drinking water standards. The treated water is redirected to the non-potable reuse system for toilet flushing in the SFPUC headquarter building.

Integrated Water Resources Management
INTRODUCTION
Challenges require IWRM; Challenges faced by more and more countries in their struggle for economic and social development are increasingly related to water. Water shortages, quality deterioration and flood impacts are among the problems which require greater attention and action. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is a process which can assist countries in their endeavour to deal with water issues in a cost-effective and sustainable way. The concept of IWRM has attracted particular attention following the international conferences on water and environmental issues in Dublin and Rio de Janeiro held during 1992; however IWRM has neither been unambiguously defined nor has the question of how it is to be implemented been fully addressed. What has to be integrated
and how is it best done? Can the agreed broad principles for IWRM be operationalized in practice – and, if so, how?

Guidelines for Water Reuse and Recycling in Victorian Health Care Facilities
Security and quality of water supply is vital for a number of key processes within health care facilities (HCF), such as hospitals, aged care facilities, medical centres and mental health facilities. Many HCF however consume large volumes of potable water and as the population of Victoria continues to grow and climate change reduces inflows to traditional water storages increased pressure is placed on potable water supplies. As such there is a need for HCF to consider ways to reduce their reliance on reticulated potable water through conservation or augmentation with alternative water supplies for non-drinking applications. Augmentation can be achieved through either alternative water supplies such as rainwater, onsite reuse (direct use of water for the same or
another function without the need for treatment) or recycling (treatment of water) of water sources. Community benefits to such an approach include both reduced potable water consumption and reduced trade waste discharge.
