Abstract

Take home messages

 

  • The demand for potable water is increasing;
  • Direct potable reuse is complex but can battle against water scarcity;
  • The prioritization of emerging contaminants is essential to drive government efforts;
  • In Brazil, DPR is on its first steps for being implemented;
  • Caffeine and Sucralose are interesting emerging contaminants for monitoring purposes;
  • The multibarrier process (reverse osmosis, photoperoxidation, and fixed bed columns loaded with activated carbon) of the pilot plant met Brazilian guidelines for potability.
