Abstract:Promoting recycled water utilization is very important to help optimize the regional water supply structure, increase water resource supply, alleviate the contradiction between water supply and demand, reduce water pollution, and ensure water ecological security. Since it launched the pilot program in Rizhao Municipality in 2022, the Lanshan District has integrated recycled water into fields such as industrial production, urban miscellaneous use, and ecological environment. The utilization rate of recycled water has increased from 29% in 2020 to 72.9% in 2024, far exceeding the pilot target of 55%. The urban recycled water utilization rate has been significantly improved, exploring a economical, efficient, and feasible path for recycled water utilization, forming an advanced and applicable recycled water utilization and allocation model, and creating a model for recycled water utilization in industrial production. This has accumulated experience for cities to carry out recycled water utilization and allocation.
