LOW TECHNOLOGY WASTEWATER TREATMENT	23/10/2009
	Although wastewater treatment and disposal has the potential to significantly improve the health of the community, in order to guarantee sustainable operations the optimal solution typically requires an analysis of many different technical and socio-economic factors. Solutions might be “on-site” for small communities or “centralized” for large communities. Further, financial constraints may require the implementation of a low-operating-cost treatment process, e.g. waste stabilization ponds.
