Reclaimed water used in cooling towers reduces which of the following types of water use?
  1. irrigation water
  2. process water
  3. harvested rainwater
  4. potable water
Explanation
Answer: D - Reclaimed water used in cooling towers reduces the use of potable water. Potable water is water that meets or exceeds the EPA's drinking water quality standards and is approved for human consumption by the state or local authorities having jurisdiction may be supplied from wells or municipal water systems. Reclaimed water is treated wastewater, and is suitable for use in irrigation and industrial systems. If recycled water were not available, potable water would have to be used.
