This book provides enough basic knowledge about the technology to non-technical project managers in order to enable them to adapt this technology locally. The book aims to help the technical specialists to understand where technical simplification is required in order to disseminate the technology in its typical decentralised context - and provides tables for dimensioning of treatment plants on the computer.
The book also aims to assist senior development planners who need to understand the specifics of decentralised wastewater treatment technology sufficiently in order to select or approve appropriate strategies for its dissemination.
