Non-market valuation of recycled water: Subiaco Strategic Resource Precinct case study

Introduction

Many cities and surrounding urban areas face increasing pressure on water supplies due to population growth and climate change. Options like recycling treated wastewater and stormwater could make a big difference to water security, sustainability and liveability. The CRCWSC explored current and future non-residential demand for recycled water from the Subiaco Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to better understand the potential uses and value of recycled water in the area.
