| Popis: | Increased water demand from population and economic growth, environmental needs, change in rainfall, flood contamination of good quality water and over abstraction of groundwater are all factors that will continue to create water shortage problems. This paper considers alternative solutions, which conform to sustainable solution premises whilst being economically beneficial to the community. Case studies are described that demonstrate the solutions including the benefits of proven hydrogeological expertise, water resource management in very poor developing regions, cash crop production by reusing brackish municipal wastewater and aquifer recharge for saline ingress and indirect potable use. |
