I am with Ken, both are critical.
If the water is to be used for cooling most probably TDS since this includes part of COD. Otherwise if re-use is directly in process, the process will determine the limits.
If TDS is from stable inorganic salts, medium TDS could be acceptable for cooling. Equally it might be acceptable for cleaning-barking operations in Pulp and Paper...
If COD is close to BOD5 (water rich in biodegradable carbonaceous material) the water will tend to generate bio-growth and be unsuitable for any direct application.
