Reclaimed water or recycled water is treated wastewater that is used for landscaping irrigation, groundwater recharge, and occasionally 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, and solid removal processes. Significant water savings are possible in agriculture due to its high water consumption, but implementing changes meets resistance from conservative farmers accustomed to traditional practices that vary depending on crop needs.
