Treating effluent from septic tanks in cholera affected areas
Hi all,
Can anyone advise of a simple method using a tank which can safely treat effluent from septic tank in an area where cholera may be present? Is it possible to treat this effluent to a level where it can be discharged to the environment without the use of chlorine or other chemical harmful to the environment?
This is area is a densely packed slum with good access to a water supply but obviously no sewage network.
Please let me know if you need further details.
Thank you, Sarah
