The preservation of a region\u2019s water resources and the utilization of new resources\u2014such as the distribution of reclaimed water from urban wastewater for very specific uses\u2014is essential for both development and the maintenance of high-quality local agricultural products, without compromising water supply for drinking. The key objective is to investigate the technical and economic viability of investing in and developing such an initiative. Crucial steps in this process include the availability of water (supply) and the identification of the market and characteristics of potential users of reclaimed water (demand).<\/p>
