WATER RECYCLING

also known as Reclamation or Reuse.
Is an umbrella term encompassing the process of treating wastewater, storing, distributing, and using the recycled water.

“Recycled water” is water which, as a result of treatment of waste, is suitable for a direct beneficial use or a controlled use that would not otherwise occur.

WATER DESALINATION

is the removal of salts and dissolved solids from saline water (brackish or seawater), also known as Desalting or Desalinization.
In addition to the removal of minerals, the process removes most biological or organic chemical compounds.

Most desalination processes are based either on thermal distillation or membrane separation technologies.
