Relative Risk Assessment of Management Options for Treated Wastewater in South Florida

This relative risk assessment was prepared in response to a Congressional mandate to conduct a relative risk assessment of deep well injection, ocean disposal, surface discharge, and aquifer recharge of treated effluent in South Florida.

The relative risk assessment may be downloaded as one complete file (Zip File, 16MB)or by individual sections.
