* [[Technology]], e.g. [[advanced water treatment]] including [[reverse osmosis]]
* Natural [[ecosystems]], e.g. through [[rivers]] and [[groundwater recharge]], allowing the water to be reused at a later stage
* [[Artificial ecosystems]], e.g. [[constructed wetlands]], or
* A combination of these, e.g. an [[advanced water treatment]] plant discharging to an artificial wetland, which discharges to a river.

* Using water multiple times - e.g. water from [[basins]], [[showers]] and [[washing clothes]] being used to [[toilet flushing|flush]] [[toilets]] and to [[irrigation|water]] [[gardens]].
* Reducing losses ([[leaks]]) in the [[water distribution]] system.
* Using [[water efficient appliances]]. These are sometimes low cost (e.g. [[efficient shower heads]]) but sometimes expensive (front loading [[washing_machines]]{{wp sup|Washing_machine#Top_loading_versus_front_loading}}).
