    DEWATS is an approach, rather than a hardware package Guided by following principles: Reduce sewer networks Simplify sewer by applying SOLID-FREE SEWER Involve local labour and material available Construct what requires low maintenance and no energy Generate water and nutrients for irrigation in agriculture and food-garden Applicable for households, settlements, institutions, hospitals, schools,.and small and medium sized enterprises (SME) for the treatment of domestic and organic industrial wastewater.

    Decentralized Wastewater Treatment


    DEWATS is an approach, rather than a hardware package Guided by following principles: Reduce sewer networks Simplify sewer by applying SOLID-FREE SEWER Involve local labour and material available Construct what requires low maintenance and no energy Generate Biogas for energy Generate water and nutrients for irrigation in agriculture and food-garden Applicable for households, settlements, institutions, hospitals, schools,and small and medium sized enterprises (SME) for the treatment of domestic and organic industrial wastewater Up to 2,000 households per DEWATS unit

    Decentralized Wastewater Treatment


    Advantages-Decentralization
    Is beneficial from the point of construction & maintenance of sewer system Size of sewer pipe and depth of construction is lesser, hence not expensive Re-use of the treated wastewater in agriculture and food garden Integration of local construction & operation capacities and job creation Collection and utilization of biogas for cooking and heating

    TED
    Technologies for Economic Development

    Disadvantages-Decentralization
    More maintenance on decentralized level Cost and area required for the treatment infrastructure is more

    Compare investment and O&M cost of a decentralized and centralized approach
