1 WHY WASTEWATER TREATMENT ?
Protect the environment from;high loads of suspended solids & organic mattereutrophication & groundwater pollutionSubstantial load of hazadous and non biodegradable compoundsSerious contamination with microorganisms
…in order to establish/maintain healthy environment for flora & faunaallow mankind to use water resources for different purposesprevent transmission of waterborne diseases/improve public health 3

Definition of Safe Sanitation
Ref: water supply and sanitation collaborative council
Collection, Transport, Treatment &
Disposal or reuse of human excreta,
domestic wastewater and solid waste,
and associated hygiene promotion

Pollution from human beings
45-60 g BOD/person/day8- 14 g N/person/day0.6-2.5 g P/person/dayVirusMedical residues

Eutrophication & it’s impactsIncrease in rate of supply of organic matter
to an ecosystem resulting nutrient built up (N, P)
Massive algae growth, anaerobic conditions, oxygen depletion
Changers in the structure and functioning of the lake and marine ecosystem
Reduction in biodiversity, fish and shellfish harvesting
Increase risk of poisoning by algal toxins11

Health Problems
In some areas in the developing world, 75 -80% of human illness is related to water and water pollution
Discharge of wastewater represents the greatest risk for pollution of potable water

3. Types of Sanitation Systems• On site sanitation systems (>90%)
– Septic tank associated effluent disposal systems
• Off Site Sanitation Systems (>2.5%)– Wastewater collection, treatment & Disposal
• Decentralized System

DRY COMPOST LATRINES Environmentally friendly Designed to keep the faeces separate from the urine and water used for anal cleansing Is usually an elevated construction Urine/water drained into an evaporative plant bed or a cultivation plot To eliminate bad odour and nuisance from flies a handful of ash, lime or soil has to be sprayed into the pit
