Method
Treated wastewater from the Beenyup Wastewater Treatment Plant was transferred to the Advanced Water Recycling Plant where it underwent further treatment. The treated wastewater was then transferred into the groundwater store via an injection well. The volume of aquifer recharge is based on metered data at the recycling plant, which is collected on an almost continuous basis.
