Abstract: Environmental monitoring and management of water resources are becoming increasingly important issues. The use of potable and reused water is no exception, and efforts are being made to find alternatives to mitigate water stress. Reused water helps reduce the use of potable water in activities that do not require its quality. In these modern times, it is our duty to maximize the reuse of water we can and think about measures with zero waste. Our country has 12% of the world's potable water, so we must take preventive measures to avoid future water supply problems. In this context, this article aims to assess a literature review on the use of potable and reused water, considering their importance under different legislations, as this topic is expanding as an alternative source of this natural resource and with the approval of Law nº 14.546 of 04/04/2023, there will be a greater government incentive for the use of reused water.
