1.
Recirculation rate = Amount of recirculated water as a percent of intake. The same water can leave a sub-system and re-enter it or is used in another sub-system many times, resulting in a recirculation rate > 100%.
2.
Gross water use = Intake + Recirculation.
3.
Consumption = Intake - Discharge.
4.
Consumption rate = Consumption as a percentage of Intake.
