   Can treated wastewater be reused?

   • Treated wastewater can be reused in industry (for example in cooling towers). Planned potable reuse is publicly acknowledged as an intentional project to recycle water for drinking water. There are two ways in which potable water can be delivered for reuse – "Indirect Potable Reuse" (IPR) and "Direct Potable Reuse".

   Can recycled water be reused?

   • Water that has already been used can be treated and reused for a variety of purposes—for example, for drinking, watering plants, or firefighting. Communities are using recycled water to better prepare for local climate change impacts, such as water shortages and floods. For example, recycled water can be a steady source of water during droughts.

   What sources of water can be reused?

   • Sources of water for potential reuse can include municipal wastewater, industry process and cooling water, stormwater, agriculture runoff and return flows, and produced water from natural resource extraction activities. These sources of water are adequately treated to meet “fit-for-purpose specifications” for a particular next use.

   How can wastewater be reused as a sustainable water management?

   • Reusing wastewater as part of sustainable water management allows water to remain an alternative water source for human activities. This can reduce scarcity. It also eases pressures on groundwater and other natural water bodies. [ 2 ] There are several technologies used to treat wastewater for reuse.

   What is potable water reuse?

   • Wastewater that is treated and safely reused for potable purposes becomes a new source of water that can be supplied to growing populations. Examples mentioned earlier show that there are thousands of people with access to clean water due to potable water reuse. This is water that would not be available otherwise.

   Feb 16, 2024 · Recycled water (also called reused or reclaimed water) is water that has already been used—for example from sinks or showers—and then is cleaned (treated) so it can be reused for other purposes, such as for drinking. No matter how dirty water starts out, it can be treated to make it safe to drink.
