This concluding chapter synthesises results and lessons learned throughout this volume, which deals with the reality of wastewater use in agriculture in developing countries. It then extrapolates from these lessons, to make pragmatic recommendations aimed at protecting both the public health and farmers’ livelihoods. Addressing these lessons in a significant fashion is becoming ever more necess...

In this study, aerobic digestion of tannery industry wastewater was carried out using mixed culture obtained from common effluent treatment plant treating tannery wastewater. The effect of pH, temperature, inoculum concentration, agitation speed and initial substrate concentration on the reduction of organic matters were found. The optimum conditions for COD reduction was found to be pH 7 (60%)...

This paper will introduce the CD4WC project and its first results after approximately 1.5 years from its beginning. The project CD4WC deals with optimising the efficiency of the urban wastewater system. Various optimisation measures are investigated with regard to ecological consequences in natural water bodies and in regard with investment and operational costs. The variety of possible systems...

This paper characterizes part of an interdisciplinary research effort on AI techniques applied to environmental decision-support systems. The architectural design of the OntoWEDSS decision-support system for wastewater management is presented. This system augments classic rule-based reasoning and case-based reasoning with a domain ontology, which provides a more flexible management capability t...

Transfer of nutrients from agriculture and wastewater to the hydrosphere attracts attention of policymakers and scientists due to an increasingly important influence on the water environment. Crop and livestock production and fisheries predominantly support the Myanmar economy. However, phosphorus (P), which is used in cultivation and is also present in domestic sewage, is a major source of bio...
