Like most major problems, the wastewater problem needs to be solved through a collective effort. The best way we can contribute towards that effort is to:
Conserve Water: The less water we use, the less wastewater we’re going to produce. A few simple ways we can do so is by fixing indoor leaks, reducing shower time, and by avoiding any wasteful washing habits. Switching to water-saving appliances will also help minimize the amount of wastewater produced. This helps water treatment plants process better because if there’s less wastewater, the quality of treatment will be better.
Minimize The Polluting Content Of Wastewater: The other factor that makes wastewater so harmful lies in the variety of chemicals that mix with human waste and food scraps. This can be averted by choosing the products we buy carefully. A good example of this is by using only low-phosphorus household products in order to reduce phosphate levels in wastewater.
Innovative Decentralized Water Technology: The decentralized technologies are Ecological Sanitation consisting of Septic Tanks, Constructed Wetlands, Composting Toilets, Biodigestor, Anaerobic Filter etc. These decentralized systems include the possibility for reusing the effluent and the potentiality for aquifer recharging. A problem in a unit doesn’t collapse the whole system. The local potentialities can be developed as small systems can be designed, built and managed by a local professional, improving the local economy.
Wastewater Regeneration Technologies: We need to create a self-sufficient treatment plant where the energy required for the plant is produced in the plant itself via the obtainment of biogas or other renewable energies.
