Sustainable Wastewater Treatment with Soil Filters

Wastewater treatment is an "end of pipe" measure. On-site management of wastes is desirable and necessary, but in many situations there is no substitute for a wastewater treatment plant. Wastewater treatment methods using little or no energy and large land areas are particularly suitable for rural areas and regions with dispersed settlement. One treatment method of this type is soil filtration. Soil filters can be suitable and sustainable solutions to wastewater problems.
