Efectos ambientales y económicos de la reutilización del agua en España

Authors: Melgarejo, Joaquín;

Efectos ambientales y económicos de la reutilización del agua en España

Abstract

Las actuaciones de reutilización de aguas depuradas no deben contemplarse aisladamente y en función exclusiva del beneficio que pueda producir en el usuario. Las aguas regeneradas han de considerarse como un recurso no convencional, cuya gestión debe incluirse en una planificación integral de los recursos hídricos, que tenga en cuenta los aspectos económicos, sociales y medioambientales. Las aguas regeneradas tienen unas importantes ventajas: incrementan los recursos disponibles y son más baratas que los trasvases o la desalinización y permiten reducir la sobreexplotación de acuíferos, y están proporcionando caudales ecológicos. En el trabajo se analiza la situación de la depuración y reutilización en España, así como los posibles efectos ambientales positivos que su uso genera. Del mismo modo se estudian los costes de los diferentes procesos que posibilitan la reutilización de aguas depuradas regeneradas.

Re-using treated water should not only be seen in terms of the benefits it provides to the consumer. The use of regenerated water is best considered as central to a company’s overall water-resource strategy, taking into account the economic, social and environmental benefits it provides. Treating regenerated water increases available resources, and is much cheaper than the alternatives, particularly the transfer of clean water, or the process of desalination. Furthermore, reducing the use of road transport, aqueducts and conduits serves to minimize a great deal of ecological damage. In this article we analyse the situation of treatment and re-use of water in Spain, and its positive environmental effects. We also consider the different processes that enable the reuse of regenerated or treated water.
