Natural evaporation of waste water seems to be an undiscovered solution for the industry.

The most cost effective way to get rit of waste water contaminated with salt and/or metals is give it to the wind. That we never think of it as an option is because we don't fully understand the mechanisms leading to effective evaporation. If we think on solar ponds where salt is produced with the help of the sun in combination with the wind we think that the sun is an important factor compared to the wind. In fact the sun is meaningless compared to the effectiveness of the wind in the process.

On our website Solar desalination we understand it.we explain why we think that historical mistakes are made (salt area).
Evaporation is about surface, make it as big as possible and it is about surface tention, reduce it and water will disappear as snow in the sun. No chemicals no tricks ,cheap and effective but above all, no energy apart from the very high wind energy. The system will NOT work for obvious reasons in area with lots of rain and in area's with low or no wind.
