GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Tech/Engineering - Environment & Ecology / lagooning - water treatment
French term or phrase: domaine privilégié
This is taken from a short piece on 'tertiary lagooning', a type of water (pollution) treatment.

Le domaine privilégié du traitement tertiaire et/ou de finition est la collectivité à forte expansion saisonnière.

Just wanted to check that I have the concept right here... I think it is saying that the best area in which to do tertiary lagooning and/or 'polishing' treatment is one with a significant seasonal population variation. It would make sense, but I just wanted to check.
