However, there are various synonyms available for this term, including recycled water, reclaimed water, and purified water. Recycled water refers to the reuse of wastewater for non-potable purposes such as irrigation or industrial processes. In contrast, reclaimed water refers to the treatment and reuse of wastewater for human contact purposes such as toilet flushing.
