Keywords:

Consumption of freshwater has grown dramatically worldwide due to the increase of population in urban areas, irrigation of agri-business and the use of water in industrial processes, resulting in sanitary and industrial effluents. This brings urgent need to save, reduce, recycle, reuse, as well as develop processes that do not go against society, or are based on precautionary principles, considering the possibility of contamination of a chemical and microbiological elements present in effluents. This study evaluated a critical process for reuse in general and, more specifically, in Fire Fighting Training Centers, where training consumes considered volume of water as the main extinguishing agent. The simple and creative technologies developed for the study prove the success of water reuse to fight waste.Downloads
