Urban
water uses can cause pollution
Urban water uses, in particular wastewater effluents, pollute downstream
ecosystems if not sufficiently treated.
The treatment of effluents is often costly and, especially in developing
countries, not considered a high priority given other needs. When
due consideration is given to the value of ecosystems, effluent recycling
and reuse are often seen to be cost-effective conservation measures.
