The term "water reuse" is generally used interchangeably with terms such as wastewater reuse, water reclamation, and water recycling. A definition by the USEPA states: "Water reuse is the method of recycling treated wastewater for beneficial purposes, such as agricultural and landscape irrigation, industrial processes, toilet flushing, and groundwater replenishing (EPA, 2004)."
Use of groundwater, especially for irrigation, may also lower the water tables. Groundwater recharge is an important process for sustainable groundwater management, since the volume-rate abstracted from an aquifer in the long term should be less than or equal to the volume-rate that is recharged.
The City facilities used for effluent spray irrigation include the Southwest Sprayfield, located at the TPS facility, and the Southeast Farm Reuse Facility, located eight miles east of the TPS facility on Tram Road. The City of Tallahassee's reclaimed water system comprises both a Public Access Reuse system and a Restricted Access Reuse system.
After treatment, the effluent may be returned to surface water or reused as irrigation water (or reclaimed water) if the effluent meets the required effluent standards (e.g. sufficiently low levels of pathogens). Waste stabilization ponds involve natural treatment processes which take time because removal rates are slow.

The water table and unsaturated zone are also illustrated. Aquifers occur from near-surface to deeper than 9,000 metres (30,000 ft). [2] Those closer to the surface are not only more likely to be used for water supply and irrigation, but are also more likely to be replenished by local rainfall.
