• Reducing the amount of sewage discharged to the ocean or rivers [environmental]
• Reducing your water bills [socio-economic]
• Irrigating your garden during drought periods [environmental].
• Groundwater recharge [environmental]

TREATED• Sub-surface immigration again• Surface irrigation• Toilet flushing• Washing machine use.
