Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I used this book for projects in southern Africa including an ecolodge, low-cost housing, and general consulting. It is exceptional because it includes both technical guidelines for the environmental engineer as well as photos and CAD sketches for the builder. Various products are also mentioned. This book would serve anyone working in remote areas of the world, where limited skills, tools and materials are available, but I think it could also be valuable to people practicing in industrialized countries too.

A detailed Guide to Sustainable Decentralized Wastewater Systems
Covering technical principles and practical applications, this comprehensive resource explains how to design and construct sound and sustainable decentralized wastewater systems of varying sizes and in differing geophysical conditions. Planning and Installing Sustainable Onsite Wastewater Systems covers state-of-the-art techniques, materials, and industry practices, and provides detailed explanations for why certain approaches result in more sustainable projects.A rational approach is presented for assessing assimilative capabilities of soils, and selecting methods of wastewater treatment and dispersal that make optimal use of natural treatment processes and site conditions.
In-depth design and construction information highlights nonproprietary methods proven to be very sustainable and cost effective on a long-term basis for many geographic settings.Step-by-step illustrations and project examples featuring real-world implementations of onsite wastewater systems are included in this definitive volume.
Planning and Installing Sustainable Wastewater Systems covers:
Sustainability factors and planning considerations for decentralized wastewater systems
Project planning and site evaluation
Wastewater collection and conveyance methods
Design and installation of primary treatment units
Comparisons of secondary and advanced treatment methods
Sand filter construction
Subsurface flow wetland performance and construction
Effluent dispersal methods
Design and installation of low-pressure dosed effluent dispersal systems
