“Substitution credit” means the use of reclaimed water to:
• replace all or a portion of an existing permitted use of resource-limited surface water or groundwater,
• allowing a different user or use to initiate a withdrawal or increase its withdrawal from the same resource-limited surface water or groundwater source provided that
• the withdrawal creates no net adverse impact on the limited water resource or creates a net positive impact if required by district rule as part of a strategy to protect or recover a water resource. (Sec. 373.250(5)(a)2 , F.S.)
