    The Facts About Water Globally

    Although almost two-thirds of the Earth's surface is covered with


    water, only 0.3% is potable water. The remaining 99.7% consists
    of sea water, glaciers and water vapor etc.

    Access to clean water has been seen as a global problem for years.

    Alternative methods have been developed to solve the water
    problem.

    As alternative methods;
    -Using rain water, grey water, and sea water by treating
    -Water/wastewater recovery

    10
    Water/wastewater recovery includes various treatment processes
    in order to provide the necessary water quality standards for the
    reliable reuse of wastewater in various fields or sectors.

    11
    The importance of water/wastewater recovery/reuse:

    • We do not have a luxury to use water once (Water is limited


    resource.)
    • Ensuring that the recycled water is suitable for use in
    applications such as irrigation and cooling, etc. and that water is
    used effectively and efficiently by supporting water resources.
    • To contribute to the sustainability of water resources by ensuring
    the efficient use of water.
    • Ensuring more efficient use of energy and resources with water
    obtained from recycling

    12
    The importance of water/wastewater recovery/reuse:

    • Contribute to the protection of the environment by reducing the


    volume of water discharged to the receiving environment thanks
    to recycling
    • The need to protect clean water resources
    • Control of nutrients that may cause contamination

    13
    As a result;
    The possibility of clean water sources not being able to meet the need
    due to population growth in the near future necessitates the evaluation
    of wastewater generated in domestic and industrial areas as an
    alternative water source.

    However, considering the many different reuse activities of


    wastewater, it is seen that conventional treatment technologies, which
    are currently used, are insufficient.

    14
    Water Reclamation, Recovery and Reuse
    USEPA definition: Water reuse (also commonly known as water
    recycling or water reclamation) reclaims water from a variety of
    sources then treats and reuses it for beneficial purposes such as
    agriculture and irrigation, potable water supplies, groundwater
    replenishment, industrial processes, and environmental restoration.

    Water resource recovery refers to using wastewater streams to produce


    clean water, energy, and other valuable resources.

    Wastewater recovery is the extraction of clean water from wastewater


    effluent. This reclaimed water can be recycled and reused within the
    plant for processes such as cooling tower or boiler blowdown.
    Alternatively, it can be sold on for irrigation or other purposes.

    • Using less water
    • Extracting less water from the source
    • use water efficiently
