* A well-designed discharge mechanisms, employing the use of efficient [[Diffuser (sewage)|diffusers]] or [[Dilution (equation)|pre-dilution]] of discharges with seawater
* An [[Ecosystem valuation|environmental evaluation]] study, which assesses the correct location of the discharge point, considering [[Geomorphology|geomorphological]] and oceanographic variables, such as [[Ocean current|currents]], bathymetry, and type of bottom, which favor a rapid [[Mixing (process engineering)|mixing]] process of the discharges;
* The implementation of an adequate environmental [[surveillance]] program, which guarantees the correct operation of the desalination plants during their operational phase, allowing an accurate and early [[Diagnosis|diagnostics]] of potential environmental threats
