摘要：The sustainable management of water resources often requires the identification of wastewater as a valued source of water. Although the benefits of wastewater reuse and reclamation have increased significantly in Europe because of the advances in effectiveness of wastewater treatment and disinfection technologies there is currently no legislation nor guidelines regarding reuse. It is well known that there is a great variation of wastewater reuse quality criteria applied, mainly related to significant differences in socioeconomic conditions, environmental policies, available water resources. In this work the parameters that affect the wastewater reuse criteria in Greece are evaluated, concerning among others reuse priorities, available treatment plants and effluent characteristics and recommendations are made for developing future guidelines or regulations for Greece in relation to reuse practices (agricultural, urban, etc). The intention is not to propose an unquestionable and rigid set of standards, but to present them on the basis of the rationale developed, in order to form a basis for further consultation, involving all the interested parties. The recommendations are presented in relation to the different types of reuse, with appropriate specific standards and recommended treatment systems wherever applicable.
