Reclaimed water
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Recycled water)
Warning sign in Santa Monica, California, where reclaimed water is used to irrigate plants in public parks.Reclaimed water, sometimes called recycled water, is former wastewater (sewage) that has been treated to remove solids and certain impurities, and then allowed to recharge the aquifer rather than being discharged to surface water. This recharging is often done by using the treated wastewater for irrigation. In most locations, it is only intended to be used for nonpotable uses, such as irrigation, dust control, and fire suppression, and there is controversy about possible health and environmental effects for those uses. In some locations (not in the United States), it is given more advanced treatment [1] and is used indirectly for drinking.
