ISO 23056 discusses water reuse in urban areas. ISO 23056 provides guidelines for the planning, design principles and considerations of a decentralized/onsite water reuse system and water reuse applications in urban areas.
ISO 23056 is applicable to practitioners and authorities who intend to implement principles and decisions on decentralized water reuse in a safe, reliable and sustainable manner.
ISO 23056 addresses decentralized/onsite water reuse systems in their entirety and is applicable to any water reclamation system component (for example, source water collection, treatment, storage, distribution, operation and maintenance and monitoring).
ISO 23056 document provides:
Note: Design parameters and regulatory values of a decentralized/onsite water reuse system are out of the scope of this document.
ISO 23056 on water reuse in urban areas is useful for:
With economic development, climate change, rapid urbanization and increases in population, water has become a strategic resource, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Water shortages are considered one of the most serious threats to the sustainable development of society. To address these shortages, reclaimed water is increasingly being used to satisfy water demands that do not require potable water quality.
ISO 23056 helps you in the planning process for a decentralized/onsite water reuse system. ISO 23056 helps you to identify the factors necessary for building an operational decentralized water reuse system. ISO 23056 ensures that you always have sufficient storage of reclaimed water for emergency situations by providing you with guidelines to counter risks. ISO 23056 helps you to reduce the stress on local water resources by helping you to set up an ideal decentralized water reuse system.
