To promote the safer water reuse, advanced wastewater treatment may be required. 出典:国土交通省 都市・地域整備局 下水道部ホームページ. “ 高度処理の積極的な推進 ” ( 2 ). http://www.mlit.go.jp/crd/city/sewerage/yakuwari/koudoshori.html
CSO is likely to become greater problem in the cities of the US and other countries. With the warmer winter, there are increased rate of floods occuring in the world.
Within the different industries, agricultural wastewater consists of % of the NPDES. Wastewater from agriculture has not been regulated, which is causing various NON-point source pollution. Concentrated
These are a few examples of the technologies in use.
With the increasing scientific and technological understanding, we are able to detect pharmaceuticals in the water. Although the land application of the activated sludge or reuse of water is getting common, we need to further research the negative effects of these reuse and recycle process. Higher technology will decrease the health effects but also increase the cost and will require higher skilled and educationed personnel.
