Abstract

The scarcity of water resources and climatic changes are among the factors facing many countries of the world. Also, conflicts between some countries over water resources are a new threat that threatens to lose large quantities that were received by these countries. Therefore, wastewater treatment and reuse provide a nonconventional water resource. The treatment and reuse reduce pollution of drinking water resources as a result of discharging untreated wastewater. Thereby reduces the spread of epidemic diseases. Decentralized low-cost technologies that do not consume a lot of energy are one of the important solutions that draw the attention of decision-makers in many countries. The integration of the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor and different posttreatment systems such as constructed wetlands, downflow hanging sponge, and downflow hanging nonwoven fabric reactor. © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
