Wastewater as a Resource

Non-Renewable resources are getting depleted day by day. Therefore, the one of the alternative is to reuse the resources. Wastewater can also be considered as a resource, since it contains many resources like organic matter, phosphorus, nitrogen, heavy metals, thermal energy, etc. This study focused on the reuse of organic matter and phosphorus and other minerals obtained from wastewater. There is a wide variety of possible alternatives, and the technical options are growing. The problem is not the availability of technology for resource recovery, but the lack of a planning and design methodology to identify and deploy the most sustainable solutions in a given context. The incorporation of wastewater use planning into national water resource and agricultural planning is important, especially where water shortages exist
