Abstract

![CDATA[There are considerable opportunities through use of environmental engineering to link recycling, agriculture and agroforestry. Increasingly, "natural" systems are being recognized and utilized in the treatment and buffering of effluent and runoff water, functioning in nutrient removal, disinfection and also as transitional environments in recycling applications. Agriculture and agroforestry opportunities are abundant and, progressively, potable recycling may be more acceptable in areas with changing flow regimes. This paper will examine a number of "green system" applications, in the Western Sydney District of NSW, Australia. A pioneer "green" system has operated for more than a decade, founded on a concept to develop approximately 100 ha of land as an integrated reuse and wetland system.]]
