How can Australia embrace a circular economy for water use and boost its manufacturing sector? That's the question that Kristi McLachlan GAICD, Hatch's Regional Director of Water Australia Asia, explores in her latest article. Why is repurposing wastewater important? It is crucial because it allows us to conserve a finite and essential resource, ensuring its availability for generations. By reusing water in various applications such as industrial processes, we reduce the demand for fresh water and minimize the strain on natural water sources. In this article, McLachlan is calling for changes in how Australia perceives water, as some water resources are deemed ‘waste’, yet treatment processes can give new life to water. “We could explore the potential for water reuse after treatment, rather than discharging to the environment or storing unusable water in large dams.
