Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) is a specific type of MAR, where the water being infiltrated into the aquifer is treated wastewater. What are the unique characteristics of SAT within the overall MAR systems?

		In SAT the water infiltrates faster
		In SAT the infiltration ponds are bigger
		In SAT the vadose zone is also used as a “pseudo-reactor” to enhance biodegradation and improve water quality
		In SAT the hydraulic loading is lower and, subsequently, the water content of the soil profile is lower
