“…Water reuse is a process with few adverse environmental impacts when compared with desalination or water transfers and offers economic and social benefits [17]. This process gives rise to a resource, the reused wastewater, that can help to improve the quality and quantity of the planet's water supplies [26][27][28]. Treating wastewater prior to its discharge helps ensure the good status of water resources [29], facilitating the use of reclaimed water as an additional source of water supply that is safe and economical [30].…”

Given the problem of water scarcity and the importance of this resource for the sustainability of the planet, wastewater treatment and its costs have become a key issue for proper water management. Using bibliometric analysis of publications in the Web of Science database, this study presents an overview of the research on wastewater treatment costs in the period 1950–2020. The worldwide search returned 22,788 articles for wastewater treatment costs, which compares poorly to the results for research on wastewater treatment, accounting for only 12.34% of the total output on wastewater treatment. The findings of this study reveal the leading countries in this field of research (China, USA, India, Spain and the UK), with the articles being published in a wide range of high impact journals. Similarly, there are very few results on UV and chlorination costs, despite the importance of these two treatments for wastewater disinfection and reuse. This study is aimed at researchers in this field, helping them to identify recent trends, and at the main institutions in the scientific community working on this subject.
