Water Treatment Or Recycling

Water reuse (also commonly known as water recycling or water reclamation) reclaims water from a variety of sources then treats and reuses it for beneficial purposes such as agriculture and irrigation, potable water supplies, groundwater replenishment, industrial processes, and environmental restoration.

Water recycling, also known as water reclamation, is the process of treating wastewater and putting it back into circulation. The water is treated to filter solids and remove certain contaminants, which can be organic or inorganic.

Water recycling offers resource and financial savings. It can be used for beneficial purposes such as:

• Agricultural and landscape irrigation

• Industrial processes

• Toilet flushing

• Replenishing a ground water basin

• Environmental restoration

Water recycling systems vary depending on the type of water to be recycled and the requirements of the intended application. The five major unit processes in water treatment include: Chemical coagulation, Flocculation, Sedimentation, Filtration, Disinfection.
