Water Reuse
The world's water supply is a finite resource, and the practice of water reuse helps to conserve it. In addition to the use of reclaimed water for non-potable purposes, water quality experts support the consideration and use of highly treated reclaimed water for indirect potable reuse. The reuse of municipal wastewater for beneficial purposes is an important aspect of the world's total water resources management.
