Focuses on Water Reclamation and Reuse, and Smart Water Management for Sustainable Water Development
Taiwan is an island packed with mountains, plains, and basins. The unique topographic features can significantly influence the local climate, creating differences across very small distances. The annual average precipitation in Taiwan is as high as 2,500 millimeters, approximately three times the amount of the global average. However, the steep mountain and fast-flowing rivers makes it extremely difficult to harvest, store and regulate water sources. As extreme weather hits, droughts have become more and more frequent in recent years. In the face of water crisis, the government announced four major goals: Source Development, Water Conservation Smart Distribution and Backup. Amongst which, Water Conservation aims to increase the recycling rate of industrial wastewater from 70% to 80% by 2031 and build six water reclamation plants to further emphasize the importance of water reuse.

Decision making for implementing non-traditional water sources: a review of...
The effects of climate change, population growth, and future hydrologic uncertainties necessitate increased water conservation, new water resources, and a shift towards sustainable urban water supply portfolios. Diversifying water portfolios with non-traditional water sources can play a key role. Rooftop harvested rainwater (RHRW), atmospheric and condensate harvesting, stormwater, recycled wastewater and greywater, and desalinated seawater and brackish water are all currently utilized and rapidly emerging non-traditional water sources. This review explores the status and trends around these non-traditional water sources, and reviews approaches and models for prioritizing, predicting, and quantifying metrics of concern. The analysis presented here suggests that understanding the challenges of location specific scenarios, socioeconomic knowledge gaps, water supply technologies, and/or water management structure is the crucial first step in establishing a model or framework approach to provide a strategy for improvement going forward. The findings of this study also suggest that clear policy guidance

Market research finds Europe's municipal wastewater reuse investment is rising
A new report from Bluefield Research finds that, in Europe, municipal wastewater reuse is seeing increased investment. Another acute summer drought in southern Europe — combined with the first-ever EU regulation for wastewater reuse and an influx of resilience and recovery funds (RRF) for new projects — is driving investment in municipal wastewater reuse across Europe.
