Water scarcity, increase in population and improvement of the living standards has put strain on water resources and their use in the country. Hence, finding new unconventional water resources such as treated wastewater (TWW) has become highly important in the country. The importance of wastewater as a potential source of water is apparent in countries that suffer from shortage of water especially to those in the arid zone such as the Sultanate of Oman.
The non-conventional resources in Oman are from desalination of seawater, storage dams and recharge dams, and treated wastewater. Effective management of these resources plays an important role in providing an efficient and sustainable form of overcoming challenges such as scarcity of water, floods etc. In a desert environment with scarce natural water resources, it is vital to maximize every water resource possible
