Abstract
Tianjin, due to its severe shortage and inefficient use of water resources, is now facing many problems such as quality of soil substance, pollution from wastewaterirrigation, etc., which will restrict sustainability in the development of its socialeconomy.As a potential new and unconventionalwater resource that has provedto be useful elsewhere, reclaimed water can be used broadly to improve the unsatisfactory state of water utilization in Tianjin. In this paper, based on an analysis of thestatus quo of an existing reclaimed water use project and associated plans for futurereclaimed water utilization, the authors discuss the problem in detail, and put forward some alternative suggestions and recommendations to improve the sustainablemanagement of reclaimed water utilization in Tianjin.
