Title
Gate - Decentralised wastewater
treatment methods for
developing countries
Abstract
In many developing countries, public
and private wastewater disposal
systems are often very deficient or
even entirely missing. In order to
reduce or avoid further deterioration of
the environmental conditions in these
countries, the wastewater has to be
treated. Speaking of organic
wastewater from households, tourist
facilities and small communities, the
decentralised approach may be an
appropriate solution for collection,
treatment and disposal problems,
implementing technologies with a
rather low level of mechanisation near
the place of generation. The choice of
the appropriate technology will depend
on several factors such as composition
of the wastewater, availability of land,
availability of funds and expertise.
Different operation and maintenance
options will have to be considered with
respect to sustainable plant operation,
the use of local resources, knowledge,
and manpower.
