According to TCEQ regulations, what are some acceptable uses for reclaimed wastewater?

Fertility enhancement and fishing
Irrigation, aquifer recharge, cooling towers, and fire protection
Potable water and industrial use
Aquatic farming and recreational use

The correct answer is: Irrigation, aquifer recharge, cooling towers, and fire protection

The correct choice highlights acceptable uses for reclaimed wastewater that align with TCEQ regulations. Specifically, irrigation is a common application, as it reduces the demand on potable water supplies while supporting agricultural practices. Aquifer recharge is another beneficial usage, allowing treated wastewater to replenish underground water sources, which is essential for maintaining water levels in aquifers. Additionally, using reclaimed water in cooling towers is a practical solution for industrial facilities, where it helps reduce freshwater consumption. Fire protection systems can also safely utilize reclaimed wastewater, ensuring public safety while managing water resources effectively. The other options contain uses that might not be recognized or suitable within TCEQ guidelines, such as intending direct potable applications or using reclaimed wastewater in ways that do not meet the standards for public health and safety.
