重新使用经处理的废水对于解决全球缺水问题至关重要,世界银行的水事全球主任在开普敦的一次会议上强调了这一点。 Reusing treated wastewater is crucial for addressing global water shortages, as highlighted by the World Bank's Water Global Director during a conference in Cape Town. 尽管水危机不断加剧,但许多国家用于水和卫生设施的预算还不到预算的0.5%。 Many countries spend less than 0.5% of their budget on water and sanitation, despite growing water crises. 到2030年,南非面临17%的水赤字,并启动了水再利用方案,以加强水再利用和吸引私营部门投资。 South Africa faces a 17% water deficit by 2030 and has launched a Water Reuse Programme to enhance water reuse and attract private sector investment. 快速城市化增加了废水基础设施的压力,但再利用带来环境和经济利益。 Rapid urbanization adds pressure to wastewater infrastructure, but reuse offers environmental and economic benefits.
