Wastewater: the untapped resource by United Nations World Water Assessment Programme

“…In the face of ever-growing demand, wastewater is gaining momentum as a reliable alternative source of water, shifting the paradigm of wastewater management from ‘treatment and disposal’ to ‘reuse, recycle and resource recovery’. In this sense, wastewater is no longer seen as a problem in need of a solution, rather it is part of the solution to challenges that societies are facing today. …”

Remediation of contaminated sites within development projects in Uppsala by Falkenhaug, Jorunn

“…However, it is concluded that there is room for improvements concerning statistical analysis of data and increased use of site specific guideline values for soil that is left or reused on site. Furthermore, the perception differs of how the SEPA guidance should be applied on cleanups within development projects, between the EOA and ECC, but also between ECCs. …”

Contextual factors influencing the development of a circular business model in aquaponics by Björkén, Sofia, Bystedt, Elin

“…Aquaponics have therefore the potential of making food production more sustainable due to the closed circular system that enables reuse of materials. However, it could be argued that aquaponics cannot be the only solution.…”

The sustainable transformation of the Colombian cattle sector: Assessing its circularity by Parodi, Alejandro, Valencia Salazar, Sara Stephanie, Loboguerrero Rodriguez, Ana María, Martínez Barón, Deissy, Murgueitio, Enrique, Vázquez-Rowe, Ian

“…In a circular food system, the use of finite and limited resources is minimized, and nutrients in residual streams and inedible biomass for humans are reused as inputs in the bioeconomy. Livestock has become relevant in this narrative for upcycling nutrients contained in food by-products and grass resources into nutritious food for humans without using human-edible resources. …”

Constraints and opportunities for water savings and increasing productivity through Resource Conservation Technologies in Pakistan by Ahmad, M.D., Masih, I., Giordano, Mark

“…The study also indicates that the field scale reduction in irrigation application did not always translate into real water savings or reductions in water use at farm, cropping system and catchment scales, especially in areas where deep percolation from the root zone could be reused as groundwater irrigation. Finally, the evidence shows that medium and large farmers tended to use the field scale irrigation savings to increase their cropped area. …”
