Toilet flushing, air conditioning, fire protection, construction, cleansing, ornamental fountains, and aesthetic impoundments. Irrigation of areas in which public access can be controlled, such as golf courses, cemeteries, and highway medians. Irrigation of food crops which are intended for human consumption. Food crop is to be processed. Food crop is consumed uncooked. Irrigation of fodder, fiber, and seed crops, pasture land, commercial nurseries, and sod farms. An impoundment of water in which no limitations are imposed on body-contact water recreation activities. An impoundment of reclaimed water in which recreation is limited to fishing, boating, and other non-contact recreational activities. Reclaimed water used to create manmade wetlands, enhance natural wetlands, and to sustain stream flows. Reclaimed water used in industrial facilities primarily for cooling system makeup water, boiler-feed water, process water, and general washdown and cleansing. Using via infiltration basins, percolation ponds or injection wells, reclaimed water is used to recharge ground water aquifers. The intentional discharge of highly treated reclaimed water into surface waters or ground water that will be used as a source of potable water supply.
