Produce disposal

[capuyk]

Hello there,
Could anyone help me understand this word in this specific contest?

Geothermal development often produce considerable thermal production from hot waste-waters, wich may be saline or highly corrosive, producing disposal and treatment problems

Does "disposal" mean "pollution"?

Thak you very much!

Hi,

Geothermal development
The development of geothermal power

often produces considerable thermal production from hot waste-water(s),
often generates a lot of heat from the waste water used in the system

which may be saline or highly corrosive,
this waste water may be salty or very corrosive

producing disposal and treatment problems
and this causes problems with treating the water and disposing of the water.

Here's something ugly that most-likely will not be helpful:
Sviluppo d'energia geotermica spesso produce molto calore dall'acque calde di scarto, le cui potrebbe essere salinate o molto corrosive, e perciò provoca problemi con trattamento e eliminazione delle stesse.
????????????????

Let's wait for help from reinforcements!

Disposal means "smaltimento".
The sense of the sentence is that one could have problems to eliminate the waste waters. Obviuosly, because they could pollute the environment.
