Rethinking wastewater: Technology advances make water reuse a smart practice

So for communities across the world, readily available water supplies are dwindling. As we experience droughts, population growth and increased municipal, industrial and agricultural demand. So it is important to check our water use. Therefore wastewater becomes the place we can see. Yes folks if integrating water reuse into our everyday routines.

To address these existing and anticipated water shortages, many have begun to increase water conservation practices. Many are seeking alternative sources of water. Water reuse, the use treated wastewater for beneficial purposes such as farming or industrial. One of these practices that significantly expands water supplies.

Xylem, a leader in global water technology and the WateReuse Association’s 2014 WateReuse Equipment Manufacturer of the Year. It offers equipment solutions across the complete water cycle. Ones that combine leading technologies to enhance water sustainability practices.

All by treating water, transporting it to where it needs to be.. Then cleaning it to meet any reuse challenge.

One of the most important components of a water reuse system is a pump. Pumps selected to run at their Best Efficiency Point (BEP) and the plumbing engineered to decrease friction loss. It estimates that a water reuse system using improperly sized piping and pumps can increase energy consumption by 200 to 300 percent.

Equipment is just one variable to consider when implementing a water reuse system. By taking a holistic approach to water-related issues — considering the cost of a facility’s current processes, power, water, discharge and compliance — one can increase productivity, maximize energy and realize cost savings while using water in a responsible and efficient way.

By working with a trusted expert in implementing a water reuse system, one can recoup the cost of the system in a timely manner, improve its energy efficiency and conserve precious water resources.
