water recycling
Liquid conservation system
Water recycling is the process of treating wastewater or greywater so it can be used again rather than discharged.
Recycled water may be reused for irrigation, industrial processes, toilet flushing, or even drinking water after extensive purification.
The practice conserves freshwater resources and reduces the environmental impact of sewage disposal.
The city's water recycling program supplies treated water to golf courses and parks.
