Water Reuse & Recycling

Water reuse of hydroponic tomatoes

Water is one of the most important aspects for many organisations, used in various stages of the process: production, manufacturing, cleaning and operation

It is especially important in Australia with the ongoing drought and lack of rainfall affecting many municipalities and industries. Population growth along coastal areas is also putting pressure on available resources with water restrictions enforced in households. Recycling water for industrial and agricultural use is of key importance in Australia.

It is important that we create drought-proof sustainable new water sources for municipalities and industries to ensure long term supply of water. Recycling wastewater and treating sea or bore water for reuse can save precious potable water for drinking.

Water reuse as irrigation of fields and crops

Veolia Water is a world leader in water reuse, with over 50 water reuse projects in Australia, recycling up to 600 Megalitres a day, producing high quality treated water. We can create alternative water resources that will be used for:

  • Irrigation in agriculture or gardens
  • Irrigation of recreational areas, including golf courses
  • Toilet flushing
  • Car washing
  • Industrial reuse: make up water for boilers & cooling towers, process water, cleaning & manufacturing

Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies has unique technologies that can treat wastewater, bore water, sea water, contaminated water or process water to produce high quality water essential for reuse applications.
