I guess you want someone to do your homework for you. I give you a few hints that may help you use your own young brain:
disadvantages: use of energy, equipment (pipes, filters etc), chemicals (chlorine etc) and labor (research, control, promotion etc) and therewith high costs for water that is still minor in quality

the advantage is that the waste water with his high toxic contents is not polluting our rivers and that the recycled water can be used for a multitude of purposes where pure spring waters are not needed and therefor nor spoiled furthermore. Also the technology developed therefor allows poor countries where water is a essential problem to profit on the long run from those experiences (already paid for) in order to help providing water at all and therewith guarantee survival and recovery from extensive drought such as many places in Africa.
