System role
More reuse can lower nonsaline withdrawals.
How it is managed
More intensive treatment can use additional power, heat or chemicals.
Environmental context
High recovery can concentrate residual wastes that still need management.
What to keep in mind
Environmental performance should consider water, energy, emissions, waste, tailings and land together.
