WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND REUSE

ENEA can provide appropriate and tailor-made solutions for wastewater management and depuration, mainly in urban and peri-urban contexts, characterized by water scarcity. These solutions allow  appropriate wastewater treatment to obtain a non-conventional water resource to be used for irrigation and/or other urban uses (e.g. public greening, fire prevention, etc.), and can be transferred to and meet the needs of developing countries.
