Billions of gallons of water are removed each year from the hydrologic cycle and injected into underground formations thousands of feet below the surface of the earth.  Hydrologists agree that there is approximately less than 1% usable water for humans on our planet.  With proven enhanced evaporation methods, why continue sending this precious resource underground out of the hydrology cycle?    

When considering wastewater treatment cost, enhanced evaporation should be at the forefront of your discussion since the per 1000 gallons of evaporated wastewater is the lowest in the marketplace.  Usually, evaporation ponds are designed and engineered solely on local pan evaporation rates.  However, adding an efficient enhanced evaporation system will accelerate removal and withdraw the burden of stopping production or adding additional ponds to increase production and holding capacity.
