Abstract
The world’s supply of fresh water is finite and is threatened by pollution. Rising demands
for water to supply agriculture, industry and cities are leading to competition over the
allocation of limited fresh water resources. The present investigation examines how water
reuse increases the available supply of water and enables human needs to be met with less
fresh water. The paper is illustrated with water reuse case studies in agriculture, urban
areas, industry and water resource supplementation in India and other countries. Water
conservation and water reuse produce substantial environmental benefits, arising from
reductions in water diversions, and reductions in the impacts of waste water discharges on
environmental water quality. The paper also describes the economic and environmental.
