Difficulty: EasyInference and Logical Deduction

Read the passage carefully and evaluate the statement below:

Under the Municipal Industrial Water Recycling Mandate, all manufacturing units operating within designated urban industrial zones must source at least 40% of their non-potable operational water from municipal recycling facilities. However, manufacturing units that have installed certified on-site zero-liquid-discharge (ZLD) systems are fully exempt from this municipal sourcing requirement, provided their ZLD systems process 100% of their internal wastewater.

Statement: A manufacturing unit located in a designated urban industrial zone that processes all of its internal wastewater using a certified on-site zero-liquid-discharge system is legally required to purchase at least 40% of its non-potable water from municipal recycling facilities.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is False.
The statement directly contradicts the passage. The text explicitly states that manufacturing units operating certified on-site zero-liquid-discharge systems that process 100% of internal wastewater are fully exempt from sourcing water from municipal facilities.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the general rule in the passage
Manufacturing units in urban industrial zones are required to source 40% of non-potable water from municipal recycling facilities.
Establishes the default baseline mandate.
2
Identify the exception to the rule
Units with certified on-site ZLD systems processing 100% of internal wastewater are fully exempt from municipal sourcing.
Determines the specific conditions under which the mandate does not apply.
3
Compare the statement against the exception clause
The statement claims the ZLD-equipped unit is legally required to purchase 40% municipal recycled water, which directly contradicts the stated exemption.
Confirms the statement is logically false based on explicit passage text.
