摘要: Wastewater reuse is increasingly becoming an important component of water resources management in many countries. Planning a sustainable wastewater project involves multi-criteria that incorporate technical, economic, environmental and social attributes. These attributes sustainability the framework upon which decision support tool presented this paper developed. The developed employs user friendly environment guides makers assessing feasibility implementing reuse. input data into are easily obtainable while output comprehensive enough for assessment treated expressed terms effluent quality, costs, quantitative treatment scores perception evaluation. Testing using Parow works Cape Town showed to be versatile capable providing good both qualitative criteria selection trains meet various non-potable reuses. module provided quick potential user's concerns on service providers' capacity.
