Recycled water, also known as reclaimed water, is wastewater that has been purified so it can be used for purposes like agriculture irrigation, watering public parks and gardens, car washing, and other household uses. Recycling water reduces pollution in water bodies by decreasing pollutant loadings, and allows substances that would otherwise be pollutants to be beneficially reused for irrigation. The Tamil Nadu Water Investment Company was appointed as the project management agency on behalf of the government for water treatment and recycling projects for industry.
