Σύνοψη

Wastewater reuse is a branch of environmental engineer which deals with the use of this water to cover the demands of agriculture mainly so as the water of the dams or from boreholes to be used only for drinking purposes.
Having the fact that 97% of the earth's water supply is contained in oceans and 2% is frozen this leaves us with only 1 % of consumable water.
So, on a sunny island like Cyprus it is easy to see that there is very limited water supply. The water resources in Cyprus are very limited and due to the demand from increasing -of population and tourism and due to the fact that rainfall is very poor in Cyprus and generally the Mediterranean area new sources of saving and producing water have to be found like wastewater treatment and reuse.
However this is not a very easy thing to do because precautions have to be taken to ensure that reuse of this water will not affect the health of people and animals or the productivity of crops.
