| Abstract | This manual is a guide for the technical planning and design of natural wastewater treatment systems in the United States. It is divided into three major sections. Part I provides an introduction and a description of general performance expectations, required site characteristics, and guidance on identifying the natural treatment concept best suited for a particular situation. Part II contains information on the following soil-based natural systems: subsurface systems; slow rate land treatment systems; rapid infiltration land treatment systems; and overland flow land treatment systems. Part III describes aquatic systems: stabilization ponds; aquatic systems with floating plants; and wetland systems. Complete design information is provided for each system mentioned in part II and III. Since the performance of soil-based systems is strongly dependent on soil and geohydrological characteristics, part II includes guidelines on site evaluation and selection. |
