Reclaimed or recycled water is former wastewater that has been treated to remove solids and certain impurities, and then reused for a variety of applications including landscaping, irrigation, and recharging groundwater aquifers. Treating water for reuse is an important part of water conservation efforts and in some regions of the world makes great economic sense.

Recycling of treated wastewater is one way of securing the water requirements of arid areas and improving supply independence. WAE offers tried and tested technological solutions to produce water from effluents that is suitable for industrial purposes, agricultural irrigation, recharging aquifers, watering of urban green areas and even drinking water. Industrial companies are aware that some of their water needs can be met with recycled water, thereby avoiding the need to tap hard-to access water resources and allowing them to optimize their entire water cycle.

Water withdrawals from underground aquifers often exceed natural replenishment capacities. In areas where water is scarce, recharging aquifers with treated water (surface water, storm water, wastewater, etc.) represents an alternative solution to reduce the gap between the demand and the available resources.

While treatment objectives may vary, WAE has been helping industries meet water and wastewater treatment challenges for decades. Our solutions allow industries to reclaim and reuse wastewater, reducing the amount of fresh water the facility must purchase.

Reclaim/reuse systems may also enable a facility to expand if there is a limit on the amount of fresh water that can be used.
