Abstract
Water reuse is a necessary process because water is excessively used and increasingly it is becoming scarcer. Water after being used by industry and domestic use and once treated, it can be applied to recharge aquifers, discharge into receiving bodies without contaminating them or being reused mainly in green areas and/or agriculture. Its reuse could be possible after a treatment, which aims to eliminate as many pollutants as may be otherwise harmful. This research describes the cur-rent situation of a wastewater treatment plant in at San José de Chaltura parish of canton Antonio Ante located in the province of Imbabura in Ecuador; and a process that was formulated to the treatment and decontamination of water through a system of pervasive monitoring. Experimentation was carried out by treating the wastewater by triplicate for 15 days, using biological reactors and combinations of aquatic plants. In general, results show the best aquatic species to raise quality of treated wastewater in agricultural use as irrigation water was duckweed since it managed to decrease its initial value for total coliforms and fecal coliforms.
