Wastewater treatment options
This technical brief reviews some of the options for wastewater treatment in low- and middle-income communities. It should be used as a guide to the main options available. Wastewater managementis a costly business. Once wastewaters (taken here to mean any combination of domestic sewage and industrial effluents) are produced and collected in sewerage systmens, then treatment becomes a necessity.
It is important to note that reducing the volume of wastewater produced and/or avoiding the need for sewerage and treatment in the first instance has many advantages; the decision to move away from properly
implemented on-site sanitation should not be taken lightly.
