Turning wastewater into a resource for tomorrow
Veolia develops comprehensive water reuse programs and technologies to help municipalities maximize community resources while adhering to strict environmental standards.
As volumes of wastewater grow alongside economic development and consumption, many cities are turning toward reuse and reclamation solutions to optimize their water costs and minimize their environmental impact.
Water reuse programs utilize treated wastewater for beneficial purposes other than the initial use, including:
- Facility cooling
- Boiler feed water
- Industrial process water
- Watering green spaces and golf courses
- Groundwater storage and recovery and salt intrusion barriers in coastal communities
- Support agricultural irrigation
- Public fountains
- Street cleaning
