In this article we explain how ZITHER can help you make the most of the opportunities offered by this regulation.
Main new features of the Water Regulation
El Royal Decree 1085 / 2024 It introduces significant advances in the regulation of wastewater treatment and reuse, reinforcing its role as a key tool in sustainable water management.
Some of its most relevant new features include:
- Homologation with European regulationsThis Royal Decree incorporates the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2020/741, especially regarding quality and safety, ensuring the protection of public health and the environment.
- New uses for reclaimed waterThe list of permitted applications is expanded, highlighting its integration into industrial processes (such as washing machinery), high-demand agricultural irrigation, urban uses (such as cleaning streets, parks and gardens) and aquifer recharge, helping to maintain the balance in areas where water is scarce.
The water reuse or regeneration systems They allow reclaimed water to meet the standards required for these applications, optimizing its quality and ensuring its availability in critical sectors.
- Improved control, quality and monitoring systemsThe regulations require stricter monitoring measures, including regular analyses and a robust monitoring system that guarantees the quality of the reclaimed water in real time.
El new Water Management Observatory It will monitor and analyze the use of reclaimed water in Spain, collecting data, evaluating practices and issuing reports.
- Transparent water management seal: to recognize companies that apply good practices in water reuse and manage their water resources in a transparent and sustainable manner.
- Promotion of the circular economyThe decree promotes reuse as an essential pillar to reduce dependence on conventional sources and minimize environmental impact.
- Adaptation to extreme climate scenariosThe importance of reuse in drought contexts is emphasized, ensuring the availability of water resources even under adverse conditions.
Solutions like the anaerobic technology It allows for highly efficient wastewater treatment, generating less environmental impact and optimizing available resources.
