Recycling of Water
Water recycling is reusing treated wastewater for beneficial purposes such as agricultural and landscape irrigation, industrial processes, toilet flushing and replenishing a ground water basin (referred to as ground water recharge). Water is sometimes recycled and reused onsite as, for example, when an industrial facility recycles water used for cooling processes. A common type of recycled water is that which has been reclaimed from municipal wastewater or sewage. The term water recycling is generally used synonymously with water reclamation and water reuse.
