"Waste stabilization ponds utilize environmentally-aware technology in treating the wastewater of communities in hot climates. This book covers waste stabilization ponds in detail, and examines wastewater management and treatment today."
"The proceeding in this publication provided a forum for discussion upon the most recent research developments on waste stabilization ponds. The topics covered include: pond experience and design in both temperate and tropical countries; pond microbiology and physicochemistry; industrial wastewater treatment; tertiary ponds; activity within the pond benthos; macrophyte ponds; high-rate algal ponds; and the agricultural use of pond efflue ..."
Waste Stabilization Ponds in Latin America(1st Edition) Selected Proceedings of the 1st International Regional Conference on Waste Stabilization Ponds in Latin ... 24-27 October (Water Science & Technology) by DuncanMara, M. R. Pena, H. J. Gijzen Paperback, 146 Pages, Published 2002 by Intl Water Assn ISBN-13: 978-1-84339-409-9, ISBN: 1-84339-409-X
"Waste stabilization ponds and related natural wastewater treatment technologies are now widely seen as practical options to solve water quality problems. These systems can also contribute to tackling growing water shortages by enabling significant water reuse (and often nutrient recovery). These benefits are particularly relevant in regions such as Latin America which are facing continuous change in policy and regulation affecting wate ..."
Low-Cost Sewerage by DuncanMara Published 2000 by John Wiley & Sons Inc (E) ISBN-13: 978-0-470-86555-2, ISBN: 0-470-86555-5
"Low-cost sewerage provides practical solutions to the sanitation needs of low-income areas. As a result of the currently very rapid urban population growth, the demand for sewerage exceeds the resources of most high density urban areas in developing countries. Low-cost alternatives to conventional sewerage, such as settled sewerage and simplified sewerage, therefore need to be developed. This book is the result of contributions by both ..."
"This book covers the public health, technical, socioeconomic, sociocultural and institutional aspects of sanitation in towns and cities of developing countries. The text features excreta-related diseases and the use of sanitation to reduce their transmission. The sanitation technologies covered in detail are VIP latrines, pour-flush toilets, septic tanks, settled sewerage and simplified sewerage, with additional chapters on sullage disp ..."
