Water Need for integrated water recovery system in cities. Here is an approach, what are your thoughts  

Most cities treat their wastewater and discharge back to the environment so that the water can be abstracted downstream by others following dilution with the natural flow. Coastal and estuarial cities do not as they are the last to abstract from the river. The missing piece of infrastructure to correct this is a pump station and pipeline to take the treated water back upstream of the abstraction point.

Sewage is the biggest wastage of water from cities. A few important big cities in the world have started processing sewage into reuse grade water, Singapore being the pioneer. In line with the same, world over the system for water recovery from sewage ought to be made mandatory to support save water cause. Secondly, the water harvesting is another important factor which can augment water cause. The huge buildings have very significant water catching surface area, from where, whatever rainwater can be caught should be accessed. These two factors seem important for water cause.
