One of the greatest of these threats is domestic wastewater. Unfortunately, wastewater is a necessity of human life. The more concentrated that life, i.e. large cities where
thousands of people live and work, the more complex is the problem of how to deal with wastewater. Even when treated, domestic wastewater contains many impurities that threaten the
natural areas where it is released. The sheer volume of the wastewater itself, in fact, can be a threat. There are ways to minimize this and, in fact,
to mitigate for the impacts associated with domestic wastewater discharge both on a small scale and on a large scale. Our wastewater treatment
efforts have varied significantly over time. In earlier years it was considered sufficient to simply flush the waste out of the cities in which it was created (Brooymans, 2007).
This was viewed as a cleansing when in fact it resulted in significant environmental impacts (Brooymans, 2007). Those impacts increased as the materials being flushed began to include
such things as household cleaners and personal care products (Brooymans, 2007). Fortunately, things have improved somewhat today. At least in some respects they have improved. Unfortunately, in
other respects the problem of how to deal with wastewater has become more daunting. Even today, to some degree at least,
we still approach the problem of wastewater from a dilution is the solution perspective. A 2005 Capitol Press Release, for example, suggests the possibility of mixing treated effluent with
cleaner waters such as snow melt to achieve EPA limits on nutrients! If history has taught us anything it is that dilution is NOT the solution! The problem
