Trojan Technologies have an editorial in MENA Infrastructure examining how UV technology can help with the emerging issue of water scarcity.

Water scarcity is a growing issue in many regions around the globe. Many cities, large and small, are experiencing water stress, deterioration in water quality and growing shortage in water quantity. Reuse of treated municipal wastewater offers an attractive solution to water stress. The treated wastewater can be reused for the purpose of irrigation, landscaping, toilet flushing, car washing or industrial use. There is also a growing trend towards indirect potable reuse of wastewater. Around the world, a number of Indirect Potable Reuse (IPR) projects have been successfully implemented and more are in progress to re-use wastewater to protect and augment potable supplies. In all these applications, wastewater reuse helps to relieve the burden on existing municipal potable supplies. Since people may be in contact with reused wastewater, its proper treatment is critical for ensuring public health protection. The use of ultraviolet (UV) technology has been successfully implemented for the purpose of providing disinfection and environmental contaminant treatment (ECT) in water reuse applications.
