TECHNOLOGIES FOR WASTE-WATER TREATMENT APPROPRIATE FOR REUSE - POTENTIAL FOR APPLICATIONS IN GREECE

During the past 15 years, a wide variety of technologies have been dev eloped that can be used for the treatment of wastewater for reuse appl ications, To assess the need for alternative technologies, potential r euse applications are reviewed, Changes in wastewater management, incl uding the growing importance of decentralized wastewater management, i s examined. The role of decentralized wastewater management is conside red with respect to wastewater treatment, reclamation, and reuse. Tech nologies are presented and discussed for a wide range of reuse applica tions, ranging from individual homes to large centralized systems. The performance of representative technologies is assessed. A brief revie w of the water resources of Greece is presented to provide some perspe ctive on the potential for wastewater reclamation and reuse in Greece. Copyright (C) 1996 IAWQ.
