Circular water management
Circular water management refers to the reuse and recycling of water in agricultural systems. This involves capturing, treating and reusing water from farming processes or nearby small-scale agri-food industries. Circular water management covers practices such as rainwater harvesting, surface water reuse, groundwater recharge, desalination and wastewater treatment processes from domestic or industrial use.
