heal.abstract	The Mediterranean countries are characterized by a severe water imbalance, especially those located in the North Africa and Middle East region. This imbalance in water demand versus supply is due mainly to the relatively and uneven distribution of precipitation, high temperatures, increased demands for irrigation water and the impacts of tourism. To alleviate water shortages serious consideration must be given to wastewater reclamation and reuse. In this paper, the analysis of a series of examples of successful wastewater schemes which include sustainable treated wastewater reused is presented. The criterion for selecting these best practices has been the contribution of the system into the overall increase of wastewater reuse in the country implemented. The effect of potential success factors and parameters has been looked into in order to realize why the implementation of these systems was proven to be highly efficient and successful.	en
