Abstract

Due to the major adverse impacts of external drivers such as limited water resources and climate change and population growth on urban water services, strategic planning for using innovative technologies and management in water systems is inevitable to improve the water system performance and water conversation. Urban water reuse schemes are one of the most efficient ones that have positive impacts on both water supply and wastewater/stormwater systems and increase the resilience of water systems [1]. Unlike traditional intervention options for development of urban water systems that can be planned, designed and implemented mainly by water companies, development of water reuse interventions in cities is more complicated that needs close collaboration of both stakeholders and communities in addition to the availability of appropriate households and infrastructure and climate suitability as shown in Figure 1.
