Water reuse is one of the potential ways to complement the existing
portable water sources. Its adoption is becoming of interest due to water
shortages in many parts of the world. Its implementation is supported by
several benefits though it has challenges as well. This paper provides a review
of practice of the water reuse for irrigation in the world and focuses on its
potentiality in Tanzania with a highlight on the water supply and wastewater
treatment situation in the country. The challenges that need to be addressed, the
benefits expected and global wastewater treatment options, capital and
operation costs as well as the cost benefit analysis have been pointed out. Some
arguments to justify a shift to water reuse in irrigation has been given. Lastly, it
has been shown that full implementation of water reuse will require among
other things, proper defined policy and institutional framework, clear
guidelines as well as more research and investment on wastewater treatment. |
