Reusing wastewater for a sustainable future, the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG-6) aims to halve the proportion of untreated wastewater by 2030 and sustainably increase water resilience. Water reuse-also known as water recycling or reclamation-is a key part of this strategy. It involves treating water from various sources and reusing it for beneficial purposes, such as:
- Agriculture and irrigation
- Replenishing aquifers
- Industrial processes
- Environmental restoration
The Challenge in South Africa
In many parts of South Africa, decaying wastewater and sewage treatment infrastructure is a major source of pollution, posing significant risks to both the environment and public health. Some municipalities are struggling to manage wastewater effectively and respond to disasters, highlighting the urgent need for better solutions.
