Title: Natural systems for drinking water and wastewater treatment
Date: 26-27 February 2009
Location: ERATA Hotel , Accra, Ghana
Description: Within the urban water cycle, natural systems can play important roles in both drinking water and wastewater treatment. Broadly, these include
more vegetation-based systems such as constructed wetlands and soil based systems that rely on soil passage and recovery. Natural systems are attractive because of their low cost and sustainability, and are important barriers within a semi-closed cycle promoting wastewater reclamation/reuse. This course will focus on the concepts and practice of Soil Aquifer Treatment (SAT) and River Bank Filtration (RBF) and will examine the potential to apply such techniques in Ghana and other proximate countries.
Target group: The Accra Learning Alliance and other Ghana Water Sector professionals.
