Community-owned water resources:

Water sources that can be easily found within the boundaries of a community such as rainwater or reclaimed water.

Non-potable water:

Water use for all applications except a direct potable application such as drinking.

Potable water:

Water that is suitable for any kind human consumption. Simply, the term can be defined as drinking water.

Public perception:

As applied to water aggregate of individual attitudes or beliefs held by general public on water or wastewater.

Rainwater harvesting:

Collection, storage, and use of rainwater for various water applications.

Reclaimed water:

Already used water that has been recovered by various treatment processes to meet specific water quality criteria.

Reuse:

As applied to water, the use of treated water for a beneficial use including domestic, urban, industrial, or agricultural application.

Runoff water:

Part of the precipitation that appears in surface and does not soak into the ground where it falls.

Sustainable water use:

Optimizing the benefits of present water use without diminishing the ability of future generation to meet their water needs.
