Additionally, with the ‘fit-for-purpose’ argument surfacing on the global water governance agenda, the search for a reliable alternative source of water has triggered governmental support for the development of water reclamation and reuse laws, policies, and projects in many countries. As such, water recycling or use of recycled water (for non-potable applications) has assumed a recognized and important role in the portfolio of urban water management st
