Conventional Engineering

Options include:
  1. Irrigation of secondary treated water to trees/crops to neutralise contaminants and beneficially use nutrients.
  2. Release of secondary treated water to wetlands to neutralise contaminants and remove nutrients (may require periodic harvesting to avoid nutrient saturation).and
  3. Full water treatment via underground wetland to neutralise contaminants and remove nutrients.
