'''An aerated pond is a large, mixed, aerobic reactor. Mechanical aerators provide oxygen and keep theaerobic organisms suspended and mixed with water to achieve a high rate of organic degradation.'''
Increased mixing and aeration from the mechanical units means that the ponds can be deeper and tolerate much higher organic loads than a maturation pond. The increased aeration allows for increased
A mechanically aerated pond can efficiently handle concentrated influent and significantly reduce pathogen levels. It is especially important that electricity service is uninterrupted and that replacement parts are available to prevent extended downtimes that may cause the pond to turn anaerobic.
Aerated ponds can be used in both rural and peri-urban environments. They are most appropriate for regions with large areas of inexpensive land located away from homes and businesses. Aerated lagoons can function in a larger range of climates than [[Waste Stabilization Pond|Waste Stabilization Ponds ]] (T.5) and the area requirement is smaller compared to a maturation pond.
