  • Focus has increased on water re-use options and the prevention of the degradation of the natural environment , dams, rivers and catchment areas
  • Long-term solutions are unclear, divided between centralised and decentralised waterborne treatment systems and the basic on-site pit latrine type applications

Why Treat Sewage

Untreated wastewater contains elevated organic fractions, which possess high oxygen demand that can lead to oxygen depletion in rivers and dams, causing fish deaths and harm to the environment

  • Nuisance odour generation and fly breeding activities are likely through the discharge of untreated sewage, flies spreading disease
  • High nutrient levels also exist in untreated domestic wastewater and in untreated form have potential to support eutrophication, i.e.   stimulation of excessive aquatic plant and algae growth
  • Domestic wastewater contains pathogenic bacteria, potential disease forming; gastro-enteritis, cholera, typhoid, hepatitis….
  • In treating wastewater, re-use opportunities are increased thereby reducing the pressure on our natural water sources
