利用再生水人工补给地下水蓄水层是在缺水地区补充日益减少的水资源的更有希望的方法之一。然而，当这些再生水用于生活消费时，会出现许多问题，从对健康的影响到补给和提取点的适当水质标准，到可用的水再生技术替代方法。本摘要报告了在定义和回答这些问题方面取得的进展。包括1个参考文献。

Using reclaimed water to artificially recharge groundwater aquifers is one of the more promising approaches to replenishing dwindling water resources in water-short areas. When this reclaimed water will be used for domestic consumption, however, many questions arise that range from the health effects to the appropriate water quality standards for the points of recharge and extraction to the available alternative methods of water reclamation technology. This summary reports the progress made toward defining and answering these questions. Includes 1 reference.
