| contents | Non-conventional water resources in coastal areas: a review on the use of reclaimed water M. Salgot J. C. Tapias Ciencias de la Tierra Non Desalination Coastal areas Water resources Water reclamation In an era of increasing concern for limited water resources a wise joint management of conventional and nonconventionalwater resources must be considered. Water scarcity aggravates in coastal zones which are oftencharacterised by high population density, intense economic activity and tourism; meaning heavy seasonal waterdemands. The relationships between sea and land-water can also compromise the quality of available freshwater.In this context, the use of non-conventional water increases the availability of water supplies. Non-conventionalwater resources of low quality could be directed to meet several needs (like watering lawns, washingcars, flushing toilets and cooling systems, among others). Therefore, significantly more potable water would beavailable to meet human demand for safe water. 2004 artículo científico 1695-6133 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=50520204 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=505 Geologica Acta: an international earth science journal application/pdf Universitat de Barcelona Geologica Acta: an international earth science journal (España) Num.2 Vol.2 |
