It said 90 per cent of wastewater \u2013 used domestic and commercial water \u2013 in the emirate is recycled. The authority said it will also reduce its use of desalinated water and related power consumption by 30 per cent and achieve annual savings of about Dh2 billion ($544 million). Dubai said it plans to double its recycling of water to more than eight billion cubic metres by 2030. Wastewater is collected and processed through treatment plants to remove contaminants.<\/p>\n<p>The reclaimed water, which has many uses in the emirate, is used to irrigate green spaces and landscaping through Dubai Municipality&#8217;s network of around 2,400 kilometres, which covers most areas of the city. It uses about 265 million cubic metres of water for green spaces every year. In 2022, Dubai used six million cubic metres of reclaimed water in central cooling stations, resulting in cost-savings of about Dh7.1m (47 per cent). The water is also used for firefighting as a more eco-friendly alternative to desalinated water and for man-made lakes in the emirate. It is also used in treatment processes such as washing operations in sewage treatment plants and pumping stations.<\/p>\n<p>Dubai Municipality started its water reclamation programme in 1969, when the emirate\u2019s first treatment plant was built in Al Khawaneej. Dubai Municipality has reduced carbon emissions from sewage treatment processes by using anaerobic digestion in central treatment plants. This is a process that involves breaking down organic matter, such as animal or food waste, to produce biogas and bio-fertiliser. Dubai Municipality completed a project this year to use biogas as fuel to power 50 per cent of the electricity needs at the treatment plant in Warsan.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thenationalnews.com\/uae\/government\/2023\/08\/21\/dubai-plans-to-recycle-100-of-wastewater-by-2030\/\">The National News<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-375\/\">Dubai plans to recycle 100% of wastewater by 2030<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[10220,575,2885],"class_list":["post-116250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-dubai","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-wastewater"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116250","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116250"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116250\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116250"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116250"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116250"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
