Reclaimed wastewater as an ally to global freshwater sources: a PESTEL evaluation of the barriers

Together with climate change, rising living standards throughout the world have put pressure on existing freshwater sources and increased global water scarcity. The reclaimed wastewater projects face obstacles in sustainable implementation. This paper reviews Political, Economic, Social, Technologic...
