About Water Reuse

Water reuse refers to the process of recovering water that has already been used for one purpose and treating it to a standard appropriate for a second purpose; typically, though not exclusively, without return to the natural environment. In principle, any type of wastewater, whether domestic, municipal or industrial can be considered for reuse. The terms ‘reused water’, ‘reclaimed water’ and ‘recycled water’ can all be used to refer to this process.
