Il riutilizzo dell’acqua

Una panoramica globale

L’acqua è un bene primario per l’essere umano, un composto fondamentale che
regola l’ecosistema. È una fonte rinnovabile, ma la sua gestione è estremamente
impegnativa: l’offerta complessiva è in grado di soddisfare la domanda mondiale,
ma la sua distribuzione non è uniforme nel mondo, a causa dei cambiamenti
climatici e della siccità, ma anche a causa di uno sviluppo economico diseguale.
Il recupero dell’acqua è una soluzione per affrontare questo problema, perché
permette di riciclare (attraverso opportuni trattamenti e tecnologie) l’acqua già
utilizzata per indirizzarsi così verso una prospettiva di economia circolare.
