BENEFITS OF WATER REUSE
Using recycled water has many economic and environmental benefits:
- Reduces demand for and use of potable water
- Extends water supplies
- Decreases diversion of freshwater from sensitive ecosystems
- Reduces pollution to rivers, ponds, streams and lakes
- Complies with conservation policies
- Helps to replenish groundwater basins
- Irrigating with recycled water reduces the need for chemical fertilizers
And important by-products, such as electricity and soil amendments, are also generated during the water treatment and recycling process
