Reusing treated waste water for valuable purposes in agricultural and landscape irrigation, toilet flushing, refilling a ground water basin and others is called water recycling. It is also the same with water reclamation and water reuse.

The earth has already recycled and reused water for millions of years through what we called the natural water cycle. This topic as water recycling generally pertains to projects that use technology to expedite the natural processes. Recycled water as long as it is passably treated guarantees water quality suitable for use and can satisfy most water demands.

If the use of recycled water is open to human exposure it needs an extensive treatment. Because water that is not properly treated can be hazardous to people’s health when taken internally and being exposed to recycled water that may contain pollutants and disease-causing organisms.

Recycled water is usually intended for non-potable used like in agriculture, golf course irrigation, landscape, public parks and others. It is also applied to cooling water for power plants and oil refineries. Further more; it is used in construction activities, concrete mixing, and toilet flushing and artificial lakes. For potable use of recycled water there is the indirect potable reuse which pertains to projects that released recycled water to a water body before using again. In direct potable reuse, recycled water is consumed as for drinking purposes right after the treatment. There are countries that potable reuse drinking water is safely used but for some countries it is not acceptable.

Recycling water definitely can help provide environmental benefits like lessening waste water discharges and lessening and preventing pollution.
