ABSTRACT
Process purpose: Discharge and reuse Returning treated wastewater to the environment safely is the chief task of efžuent discharge and reuse (see Figure 20.1). This can be accomplished by a number of different methods, each of which uses water’s physical behaviors to accomplish wastewater’s safe return to the hydrogeologic cycle. Wastewater reuse offers the attraction of both offsetting treatment costs and providing environmental bene›t, especially in water-poor areas.
