These alternative techniques include spray irigation and overland flow land treatment systems which can be used individual cr combined with lagoons. The lagoons serve as pre-treatment systems for settling, microbial degradation of BOD, and/or for storage during periods of cold or wet weather. The proper selection and management of vegetation is critical for the efficient renovation of municipal whitewater by slow rate, overland flow, or spray irrigation systems.
