Circular water management

Optimising water reuse, recycling and resource efficiency in farming systems

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.
