feasible that some volume of groundwater demand for these purposes could be offset with <br />stormwater capture and use. In the northern portion of Dakota County, these uses totaled 257 million <br />gallons in 2010, or just over one percent of annual non -winter runoff (Metropolitan Council, 2015b). <br />Reclaimed wastewater has potential for both recharging groundwater and reducing potable water <br />demand by providing and alternate source for non -potable purposes such as industrial cooling, <br />irrigation, and toilet flushing. Year round reuse of wastewater could include recharging groundwater, <br />industrial cooling, and other non -potable use. Seasonal possibilities include irrigation of agricultural <br />land, golf courses, parks, and lawns. Each type has water quality requirements that may require <br />additional wastewater treatment before it is distributed and used. <br />There is no single solution for ensuring a long term sustainable water supply across the metro area, <br />but all solutions are likely to include some combination of the sources discussed in this chapter. <br />WATER SUPPLY MASTER <br />PLAN- Draft June 2015 <br />29 <br />
