Resource Recovery & Reuse Series

The aim of the Resource Recovery & Reuse (RRR) Series is to present applied research on the safe recovery of water, nutrients, and energy from domestic and agro-industrial waste streams. IWMI’s research on RRR includes different lines of action:

  • Developing and testing scalable RRR business models.
  • Assessing and mitigating risks from RRR for public health and the environment.
  • Supporting public and private entities with innovative approaches for the safe reuse of wastewater and organic waste.
  • Improving rural-urban linkages and resource allocations while minimizing the negative urban footprint on the peri-urban environment.

The RRR series of documents present summaries and reviews of the research and resulting application guidelines, targeting development experts and others in the research-for-development continuum.

The RRR Series originated in 2014 under the CGIAR Research Program on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE), and continued since 2021 under the CGIAR Initiatives on Resilient Cities and Nature-Positive Solutions.

IWMI works closely with the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the United Nations University (UNU), and many national and international partners across the globe.

The Resource Recovery and Reuse publication series and its publisher, the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) acknowledge the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) recommended Code of Conduct. Please refer to our statement on Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice
