Proceedings of the Workshop on Adopting, Applying and Operating Environmentally Sound Technologies for Domestic And Industrial Wastewater Treatment for The Wider Caribbean Region

Numerous technologies are available for the treatment of wastewater. Many systems have been constructed and successfully operated ranging from simple on-site systems to sophisticated large-scale systems with computer operational control. In evaluating the technologies for application in a particular situation many factors have to be considered. These include capital cost, availability of fund, financing arrangement, cost-recovery possibility (affordability by the users), operating and maintenance, and the need for training in operation and maintenance.
