  2. Land: land required for the AWPF facility and groundwater injection sites.  
  3. Injection/Extraction Wells: groundwater wells for injection and extraction of purified water. 
  4. Pipelines: to convey treated water between the VWRF and AWPF and from the AWPF to the injection wells.
  5. Pump Stations: required to transport water at multiple steps in the treatment process.
