Abstract
Water scarcity is a common concern in many arid and semi-arid countries. Shortage of water might be accompanied by groundwater contamination, public health threats, aquifer depletion and well abandonment. Solutions are expensive and may take a long time to achieve, but more immediate actions may also be undertaken: reduce water consumption through conservation, and increase the availability of water supply through wastewater reuse. The efforts invested in water reuse will preserve freshwater for potable uses.
