Sustainable Urban Water Reuse

As water reuse technologies help to reduce the exploitation of freshwater resources, they also help alleviate water demand for drinking, manufacturing, sanitation, leisure purposes, and land use, such as agriculture. This book will examine ways to improve both the quality and quantity of water resources with particular emphasis on urban water reuse planning. It will highlight three separate planning tools: Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), and Integrated Landscape Approaches (ILA). Each of these tools will be thoroughly examined, and the ideal application for each with regard to spatial, environmental, and landscape planning will be discussed.
