Improves air quality and visual
character
Enhances aesthetic appeal for
the local area, good for tourism
and recreational activities
Improves air quality and visual

Potential disturbance during
construction period
Enhances aesthetic appeal for
the local area
Decreases demand for water,
increases security
Solution would be tailored to
match local requirements
Potential short term disturbance
during construction period
Limited additional treatment
infrastructure required
Existing resources can be
utilised

Short term inconvenience for
residents during construction i.e.
noise, vehicle movement

9.2.4 Integrated Water Cycle Management Scenarios
Reduces impact to local aquifer
and the environment
Reduces impact to local aquifer
and the environment
Maximises water resource use
Would encourage local reuse
and recycling
Less overall environmental
impacts than conventional
gravity systems
Possible environmental impact
during construction
Less overall environmental
impacts than conventional
gravity systems
May allow for regional reuse
Improves quality of effluent
discharged to environment
Increases opportunities for
effluent reuse
Possible environmental impact
during construction
Significantly reduces likelihood
of groundwater contamination
Improved quality of effluent
discharged to environment
Increased opportunities for
effluent reuse
Possible environmental impact
during construction
Significantly reduced likelihood
of groundwater contamination
Using the bundling process, the above water management opportunities can be combined
into integrated scenarios. Table 9-3 presents examples of integrated scenarios. Other
scenarios may be developed and considered in subsequent study phases.
