Total water management

Total water management is an integrated approach to the use of drinking water and industrial water, linking conservation, recovery, treatment and reuse rather than treating each stage as a separate activity. In the source, the concept is associated with water savings, recycling and the development of related devices and projects. In an industrial archive, this concept covers planning and implementing connected water systems, including treatment, recovery, efficiency improvements and turnkey facilities. It is distinct from a single treatment unit because it describes the broader management approach across the water cycle and across multiple facility needs.
