Centralised Vs. Decentralised Wastewater Systems

摘要

Urban waste management systems are being increasingly transformed from a disposal-based linear system to a recovery-based closed-loop system that promotes the conservation of water and nutrient resources thereby contributing to sustainable development. The current manuscript compares the decentralized and centralized approaches to wastewater systems by citing several studies that have listed various well defined criteria to choose decentralized systems over centralized systems. The manuscript also lists recommendations for decentralised systems as mandated by CPCB.
