Abstract
BECAUSE OF THE BIOLOGY OF WASTE STABILIZATION PONDS AND CLIMATIC FACTORS IN MOST DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, STABILIZATION PONDS APPEAR TO BE THE MOST ATTRACTIVE WASTEWATER TREATMENT METHODOLOGY FOR COMMUNITIES OF 10,000 OR LESS. THIS REPORT FOCUSES ON SUCH PONDS, AND IT ALSO PRESENTS A COMPARISON OF OTHER TREATMENT METHODS IN TERMS OF CAPITAL COSTS, LAND REQUIREMENTS AND ENERGY CONSIDERATIONS. AN ANALYSIS OF THE COSTS OF SEWAGE TREATMENT IN LDCS IS BASED PRIMARILY ON INFORMATION FROM INDIA AND BRAZIL.
