Economic and Feasibility Analysis of Process Selection and Resource Allocation in Decentralized Wastewater Treatment for Developing Regions

Economic and Feasibility Analysis of Process Selection and Resource Allocation in Decentralized Wastewater Treatment for Developing RegionsHighly developed urbanized areas rely on centralized wastewater treatment and an elaborately planned sewerage system. For developing regions and remote areas installing a centralized plant and achieving maximum coverage with a sewerage system connecting to that plant implies high capital cost. In such cases, it is feasible for these regions to opt for a multiple decentralized treatment plants....Author(s)Kartiki NaikMichael K.
