Is it safe for animals or wildlife nearby to drink this water? Even if the area is fenced off, it seems that flying birds could still land in and drink in the water

I have seen this similar system in India, but in a city level scale, ...and it works perfectly.

How far away from a water well or spring type source of drinking water must this be located?

[VashtiPerry]

Y’all need more rocks and trees around there

What's the smell like? I've heard that can be a challenge with these systems.

Will this work in sandy soils in an area that has mild winters which very few nights get close to or just below freezing?

Is it safe if wildlife is in contact with the pond? Ducks, etc. Very green.

Can we use this method for wastewater discharged from chemicals factories?
