Why wastewater is a big city question. By 2030, global demand for water is expected to grow by 50%. At the same time, the quantity of wastewater is increasing, due to population growth, accelerated urbanisationand economic development. Let’s use treated wastewater for industry and agriculture, washing vehicles and irrigating parks! #WorldWaterDay www.worldwaterday.org UN-HABITAT

Recycling 600 liters per day. ‘My family of four was using 400 litres of water every day in our bathroom and for the washing machine. I realised the need to conserve water and decided to recycle it,’ says Sanjay in India. Every minute of cycling provides around 30-40 litres of water to the garden and his family recycles over 600 litres of water every day. http://buff.ly/2lssv8D #WorldWaterDay

Safe use of wastewater in agriculture. Population growth, rapid urbanisation, more water intense consumption patterns and climate change are intensifying the pressure on freshwater resources. The increasing scarcity of water, combined with other factors such as energy and fertilizers, is driving millions of farmers and other entrepreneurs to make use of wastewater. http://buff.ly/2k1voMG United Nations University-FLORES #WorldWaterDay
