Land Treatment Of Waste Water

Land treatment of wastewater is a natural and cost-effective method of treating sewage and industrial effluents by applying them to the land. The soil acts as a biological filter, removing contaminants through physical, chemical, and microbial processes. There are three main types of land treatment systems: slow rate, rapid infiltration, and overland flow. This method not only purifies the wastewater but can also support vegetation growth, replenish groundwater, and improve soil quality. It is most effective in areas with suitable soil, climate, and land availability.
