Abstract
TREATING WASTEWATER PRODUCED FROM
HOUSEHOLD-SCALE MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES


The paper discusses sanitation solutions for households engaged in small-scale manufacturing activities. It tackles wastewater as a resource to be collected, treated, stored and used for food production and horticulture.

A wastewater treatment plant composed of biogas digester, baffled reactor, anaerobic filter, planted gravel filter and treated water well is designed for low-income communities characterized by small spaces that are often water-logged and flood-prone. This study on a simplified wastewater treatment technology for households looks into the economic benefits of biogas generation, soil improvement, and new livelihoods from wastewater management. It also looks into how the process of treating wastewater can beautify shared living spaces and at the same time enables residents to grow vegetables and ornamental plants.

It is hoped that this initiative could encourage other innovative community-based researches, ideas and analysis that would benefit especially those with limited resources.
