Climate change and the growing demand for natural resources have brought us face to face with an urgent challenge: how to manage water more efficiently. In response to this crisis, the European Union declared in November 2019 thestate of climatic emergency<\/strong>with the goal of limiting global warming to a maximum of 1.5\u00b0C. This commitment includes addressing issues such as reduced moderate rainfall and increased extreme weather events, which are affecting the availability of freshwater. This commitment includes addressing problems such as the reduction of moderate rainfall and the increase in extreme weather events, which are affecting the availability of fresh water. In this context, theSustainable Development Goal 6<\/strong> of theUnited Nations<\/a>which seeks to ensure access to clean water and sanitation, highlights the need to implement advanced wastewater purification and reclamation systems. These systems make it possible to extend the life cycle of freshwater, which is crucial to achieving a sustainable water supplycircular management<\/strong> of this essential resource for life<\/p>\n

The Region of Murcia: An example of efficient reutilization<\/h2>\n

This situation reflects not only a lack of infrastructure, but also a lack of interest or need in other regions of the continent<\/p>\n

Costs and feasibility of water reclamation<\/h4>\n

A recent study has evaluated the cost of producing reclaimed water for Irrigation in the Mediterranean, taking into account European regulations on water reuse. The results show that the production costs range between0,09 and 0,19 EUR\/m\u00b3<\/strong>this positions reclaimed water as an economical and sustainable alternative to traditional sources. In addition, the study highlights the importance of public financing schemes and the implementation of adequate prices to promote this practice.
