Natural treatment processes and on-site processes

Natural treatment systems for wastewater can be divided into two broad categories: soil-based systems, which include subsurface infiltration, rapid infiltration/soil aquifer treatment, overland flow, and slow rate systems; and aquatic systems, which include pond, floating aquatic plant, and construc...

Description
Summary:Natural treatment systems for wastewater can be divided into two broad categories: soil-based systems, which include subsurface infiltration, rapid infiltration/soil aquifer treatment, overland flow, and slow rate systems; and aquatic systems, which include pond, floating aquatic plant, and constructed wetland systems. Many, but not all, on-site wastewater treatment systems are natural systems using septic tanks as a pretreatment.
