Abstract

Sustainable development of a country or area requires availability of different resources and their efficient application. Water resources are one of the most valuable resources of each country. The proper use of water resources depends on appropriate management. Water supply management is a multifaceted approach, and an important affecting factor on this approach is the use of potential resources. Effluent reuse is proposed as an efficient solution to improve the management of water resources, particularly in developing countries such as the Middle Eastern countries, because these countries are faced with water scarcity. However, reuse of wastewater in this region has limitations and advantages that are discussed in the present study. Policies related to wastewater reclamation are more important in the Middle East, due to technologic, fundamental, and cultural limitations in these countries. These policies can have a significant impact on wastewater reclamation and water resources management. © 2017 Desalination Publications. All rights reserved.
