Simulating the Effects of Water Reuse on Alleviating Water Shortage

How to evaluate the impacts of water reuse on alleviating water shortage is increasingly identified as one of the main challenging problems. WEAP can examine and quantify the benefits of water reuse and other water management. The effects of water reuse were simulated by defining scenario for changes in water reuse rate and maximum daily processing capacity of treatment plant inputs to WEAP. The results show that substantial reductions in unmet demand when the water reuse strategy is used.
