- Abstract
Possible uses for reclaimed water are briefly reviewed and the extent of reuse in Australia summarised. Sewage treatment processes available in Australia are discussed with their costs, and the problems of industrial reuse. In regard to treatment of water supplies, the costs are discussed and a plea made for simpler, less costly plants for Australian towns. Desalination is seen as having limited use in specialised areas. Finally, water saving technology is seen as practicable.
