A residential community of 200 families, has the water consumption of around 80,000 litres per day, which is treated and pumped into a stream, which is still of waste.
I would like to understand, if such water can be reused, both with and without much processing?
If so, I would like the experts to clarify in detail how and how the water can be reused?
Murtha, yes you can reuse the water for various other applications once treated, the quantity of water you described is promising for reuse, Firstly you should characterize the water quality, secondly determine the needed treatment, and finally compare the quality with your country specification for reuse.
what is your financial capacity to treat, do you need low cost technologies?
For the reuse, do you have a standards for the reuse of wastewater? If not we could propose some categories like forages, cut flowers, industrial crops...
Murthi , Yes you can reuse the water for various other applications once treated depending on whether you have a water network in place one could use the water for the washing of clothes or for the flushing of toilet depending on the type of sanitation technologies used by the community if you are a rural community you can divert the water to a simple sand fliter and reuse the water for agriculture i would recommend using the water for toilet flushing or washing of clothes. Releasing untreated water into your stream is not good practice for many reasons
