Reclaimed water or recycled water is treated wastewater that is used for landscaping irrigation, groundwater recharge, and sometimes stream flow augmentation to benefit ecosystems. While various wastewater recycling technologies aim to reuse flowback and produced water from drilling in a cost-effective way, there is no agreement on the best approach, as methods differ in their use of chemicals, electricity, or solids removal. Agriculture has the highest water consumption but using reclaimed water for farming often faces resistance from conservative farmers uncomfortable with change, though water use varies significantly by crop type.
