Domestic Water Reuse Situation in the Context ...

This paper presents the results of an analysis of domestic water reuse (WR) in middle-income countries, using Thailand as a case study. The analysis covers drivers and constraints of WR development, as well as current practices and opportunities for WR, based on both primary data through field survey and secondary data from the literature. The significant similarities and differences between middle- and high-income countries are then discussed, while the case demonstrates specific characteristics of the WR situation. More case studies of middle-income countries can contribute to further understanding and improved WR applications for sustainable water management to meet the challenges of a rapidly growing demand and a decreasing supply.
