Original Abstract

Recent drought period from 2014 to 2018 in the Czech Republic have raised concerns about serious consequences of the climate change for water availability in this region. Minicipal wastewater reuse could be a reliable and sustainable solution in cities and regions facing negative effects of drought. In 2019, more than 790 milion cubic meters of wastewaters were treated, and then discharged into recipients in the Czech Republic. On the other hand, this treated wastewater could be potentially returned to the urban water cycle. Pressure-driven membrane technology has an important role in water reuse in several potable water reuse applications across the globe. For the needs of this study, an already existing pilot-scale ulltrafiltration and reverse osmosis membrane unit was used to produce drinking water from the minicipal wastewater treatment plant efflucent. Such a configuration encloses the full cycle of wastewater management from the source through distribution, collection and treatment to its reuse which fully corresponds to the principles of circular economy. There were 44 physical, chemical and microbiological parameters observed to assess the quality of the produced water but input water as well. None of the parameters exceeded limit values issued by the Decree 70/2018 Coll. which determines hygienic requiremens for drinking water in the Czech Republic. However, the produced water cannot be considered as drinking water, mainly, becaues of its low mineralisation. Before its potential application in practice, it is therefore necessary to choose an appropriate method of remineralization as well as to follow all the other legislative requirements for the drinking water.
