Soil as a Wastewater Treatment Medium By J.G. Mexal Department of Agronomy & Horticulture New Mexico State University

Soil as a Treatment Slow Rate Land Application System “Slow rate land application for wastewater treatment is a proven technology for municipal and other organic wastewaters. Used for over one hundred years, it has evolved from a ‘disposal’ method to one that can be used to recycle wastewater onto agricultural crops, forests, or park lands.” EPA 1992

Soil as a Treatment Limitations of SRLA System Percolate < 10 mg NO 3 - -N Balance water- vs N-loading Salt loading limits plant productivity Growing season limits water use

Soil as a Treatment Conclusions A functioning soil-plant ecosystem is an effective wastewater treatment and water reuse system. Arid environments create unique situations that preclude ‘off-the-shelf’ adoption. SRLA systems can be economical, sustainable treatment systems.
