  • Abstract:
  • As freshwater resources diminish globally due to factors like climate change, population growth, and urbanization, alternative water sources are urgently needed to meet rising demands. The reuse of treated wastewater for drinking purposes, known as potable reuse, offers a sustainable solution for water scarce regions. This report investigates the feasibility, technologies, and challenges associated with converting wastewater into potable water. Advanced treatment processes—such as reverse osmosis, UV disinfection, and advanced oxidation—enable wastewater to be purified to meet or exceed drinking water standards. The report reviews successful potable reuse implementations, examines public perceptions, and discusses the economic and health implications of potable reuse. While technical advancements ensure safety, public acceptance remains a barrier, requiring focused education and outreach. The report concludes with recommendations and future directions for expanding potable reuse as a viable, sustainable component of urban water supplies using methods like reverse osmosis, UV disinfection, and activated carbon filter.
