| Abstract | The transition to circular economy requires the redesign of the water infrastructure, even more in the context of overexploitation of water resources and water scarcity. The shift of the existing water management toward circularity can be achieved by using a diversity of approaches and technologies. Decentralized water reuse systems can provide reclaimed water close to the point where wastewater is generated. Nature-based solutions (NBS) seem one of the best fitting options for this purpose. Technologies like treatment wetlands, lagoons, algae ponds, willow systems, and similar are often not recognized by local authorities, water utilities, and public. Moreover, the great majority of decision-makers and end-users are still unaware of the NBS and circular approach to wastewater and resources. Hybrid systems can foster decentralization of the existing urban water infrastructure leading to more efficient control of the waste sources. In this chapter, we present several case studies from Europe, Asia, and Africa using NBS and hybrid systems. |
