Abstract

The contribution of water reuse to water resource management is still greatly undeveloped in the Mediterranean. The reasons for this gap are not only technological. They can be found in the long lasting absence of common regulations, in the slow acceptation to shift from agricultural irrigation to other more economically efficient applications such as urban and industrial uses, as well as in the real or assumed public reluctance and in the socio-economic hurdles that must be overcome to integrate water reuse in global water resources management.
