  • Decentralized Wastewater Management

    Low Cost and Low Tech. decentralized Wastewater Management using grey wastewater treatment including kitchen waste and treating black wastewater by modified septic tank.

    Implemented by Palestinian Wastewater Engineers Group in the framework of the international project "Mediterranean Integrated System for Water Supply", in Jericho, Palestine.

    Fields of application 

    1. Management and treatment of wastewater.

    2. Irrigation Field .

    Target 

    1. Environmental Protection: Decentralized Wastewater Management aims to protect the environment by treating wastewater locally, preventing pollution of natural water bodies and groundwater.

    2. Water Conservation: Another target is to promote water conservation by encouraging the reuse of treated wastewater for non-potable purposes like irrigation.

    3. Public Health and Safety: The objective is to safeguard public health by treating wastewater effectively, minimizing the risk of waterborne diseases, and preventing contamination of drinking water sources.

    4. Reduction of Water Pollution: By treating wastewater locally and minimizing discharge of untreated or poorly treated effluents, decentralized systems aim to reduce water pollution and its impact on aquatic ecosystems.

    Preliminary knowledge required (if any)

    1. Wastewater Treatment Technologies: Understanding the different wastewater treatment technologies, such as anaerobic digestion, aerobic treatment, constructed wetlands, and other decentralized treatment options, is essential.

    2. Hydraulics and Hydrology: Knowledge of hydraulics and hydrology is important for designing decentralized wastewater systems that can handle the expected flow rates and variations in wastewater discharge.

    3. Water Quality and Testing: Familiarity with water quality parameters and testing methods is crucial for assessing the effectiveness of decentralized treatment processes and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

    4. Environmental Regulations: Knowledge of local and national environmental regulations related to wastewater management is necessary to ensure that the decentralized systems meet the required standards.
