Lima, Peru. Reuse of Treated Wastewater for Urban Greening and Agriculture

Lima’s wastewater has a strong potential for reuse given Lima’s context of water scarcity and its citizens’ need for green spaces and peri-urban agriculture. Lima has worked with stakeholders to influence national legislation on wastewater reuse and to develop a demonstration project: a multifunctional city park using treated wastewater.
