Although the climate in Flanders, Belgium is of the moderate sea climate type and flooding does sometimes occur, local water shortages have become apparent in
recent decades. The need for integrated water management is now recognized and several actions
are being taken in that respect. This paper presents an overview of the seriousness of the
water shortage problem, together with an indication of possible causes. One possible
remediation lies in the reuse of wastewater. The status of reuse projects in Flanders is
reviewed, focusing on the reuse of industrial as well as domestic wastewaters. The legal
framework in Flanders is discussed, and bottlenecks that hinder reuse practice are outlined.
Future developments towards wastewater reuse are also addressed. Includes 29 references, tables, figures.
