Wastewater reuse in Beijing: an evolving hybrid system

Abstract: Water reuse capacity in Beijing has developed rapidly along hybrid lines, with a small number of large-scale plants connected to a network backbone and a large number of small-scale plants in less densely developed areas. This article examines whether Beijing’s reuse system meets the objectives of effectiveness and sustainability, employing a new data-set of water reuse facilities for the city. It finds that reuse development in Beijing has so far been largely supply-driven and the desirable attributes of a hybrid system may only be achieved as greater attention is given to demand aspects of water reuse.
