With the deteriorating environment leading to more stringent discharge standards, including the emphasis on effluent reuse, CW systems operating as standalone technologies are in some cases unable to meet the requirements of these new guidelines despite improvements in design and operational strategies and the utilization of intensified systems.
When the state had earlier imposed a more stringent discharge standard for treated wastewater of 500 mg/L of total dissolved solids, drillers had found it more cost-effective to invest in centralized and mobile wastewater treatment for recycling and reuse in fracking operations than to discharge into the environment.

Mean effluent values of ⩽1.0 mg L−1 P and 1.3 mg L−1 N met the legal discharge limits of the European Water Framework Directive and show a potential to comply with upcoming, more stringent legislation.
