    Water Reuse in Mexico

    Uploaded by

    Daniela Ruiz
    The document summarizes Mexico's legislation and current state of water reuse and reclamation. The National Water Law promotes rational water use, reuse, and restoration. It requires treated wastewater to be used for purposes that don't require drinking water, like irrigation and toilets. The law also mandates educating the public on water issues like efficient use and wastewater treatment benefits. Two case studies are described: the large Atotonilco WWTP that treats wastewater for irrigation, and an Audi plant that fully reuses its treated wastewater internally. Water reuse in Mexico includes various urban, agricultural, industrial, and public uses.

    the rainy season, improving water
    quality for irrigation of 80,000
    hectares.

    plant in Latin America and one of
    the largest in the world

    • Max capacity: 50,000 L/s


    • Capacity(dry season):35,000 L/s
    CASE STUDY 1 - THE ATOTONILCO WWTP
    • Of the treated water, 67% will be used for irrigation and 33% will be sent
    directly back to the river.

    • Physical-chemical process train:


    Based on Chemically Enhanced Primary Treatment (CEPT) to clean up storm
    water flow discharged to the river.
    A high-rate activated sludge (biological) treatment for wastewater flow to be
    reused in irrigation (Acciona Agua 2017)

    • Water obtained is Based on NOM 003-SEMARNAT - regulation that establishes
