摘要: Streamflow augmentation has the potential to become an important application of recycled water in scarce areas. We assessed economic and ecological merits a project that opted for inland release tertiary-treated small stream wetland compared ocean outfall discharge. Costs status-quo scenario discharging secondary-treated effluent were those implemented streamflow using water. The benefits inland-discharge greater than increase associated costs by US$1.8M, with recreational value scenic amenity generating greatest value. also physical habitat quality, benthic macroinvertebrate community upstream downstream discharge estimate effect on ecosystem. physical-habitat quality was higher discharge, although streamflow...
