Content - Summary
The scope of this paper is to provide some easy-to-understand guidance on taking decisions in wastewater management in settlements and towns with up to 10,000 population equivalents (PE).
Specific aims of the guidance paper are :
- To inform about cost-effective and sustainable options for sanitation,
wastewater collection and treatment which meet the requirements of the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive for agglomerations with 2,000 – 10,000 PE and for smaller agglomerations with less than 2,000 PE to improve the hygienic and environmental situation in the frame of the Water Framework Directive
- To give guidance to decision-makers how to select appropriate systems for sanitation and wastewater management with respect to relevant framework conditions, in particular to give decisive advantages and drawbacks of non-conventional systems, decentralized and semi-centralized systems, ponds and constructed wetlands as well as innovative concepts
also for settlements without reliable water supply
- To show examples for sustainable and cost-effective solutions from different EU countries
The target group of this guidance paper are decision-makers on ministerial and municipal level, authorities and utilities, as well as consultants and NGOs working in the field of sanitation and wastewater
