Water Conservation and Reuse
Abstract
The world population is continually growing while our freshwater supplies are shrinking. This trend is placing a constraint on the use of water, not only on agriculture but also on domestic needs. The southwestern United States and many countries around the globe already experience a water shortage. As this trend continues, the need for conservation and reuse of water becomes a challenging reality. This chapter discusses measures for conservation and reuse of water.
