Olive mill wastewater (OMW) is a significant environmental pollution problem inMediterranean countries. In Greece, due to the existence of small and decentralized facilities, thetreatment of OMW can’t be achieved by a centralized large scale treatment plant. The mostcommon practice is the use of evaporation basins after the pretreatment of wastewaters withcalcium oxide. The main objective of this study is the evaluation of land and sedimentscharacteristics amended with OMW. The research was focused on two parts: the fate of OMW(pretreated with calcite) to (a) a corn field and (b) to river sediments. The effect of OMWapplication to a greater scale (Evrotas river basin) was also evaluated.
