Abstract(s)

Due to global warming, the future trend is to adopt good practices in the use of treated wastewater in agriculture, industry, and the urban sector, with particular emphasis on arid and sub-arid regions. In the European context, the Southern Mediterranean countries are the most vulnerable and the costs of inaction are significant. The regulation approved on 13 May 2020 by the European Parliament establishes minimum requirements for the reuse of treated urban wastewater, to guarantee an alternative water supply. These requirements mainly concern water quality and monitoring, and some member states, such as Portugal, have requirements for water reuse in legislation or non-regulatory national standards.
