Water is used intensively by various sectors such as agriculture, industry, and the public. Increasing global water demand and the effects of climate change are leading to overuse of water resources in many regions. One strategy to meet these challenges is to implement an integrated industrial water management, e.g., by water reuse or the use of alternative water resources. The development of new concepts and technical, digital, and nontechnical innovations together with priorities will continue to set the course for future integrated water management, particularly in the industrial environment.
