We have one of these setups here in Raleigh at our Exploris museum (it's
a small demonstration exhibit though, doesn't handle the entire museum's
effluent). It's pretty cool, and appears to work.

What happens when you have an excessively humid, wet environment (like
this summer here in Raleigh) and don't get evaporation at the design
rate for the system?
