- Abstract
- A review of onsite wastewater systems and wastewater recirculation/reuse devices based on the literature and field inspections of systems in actual settings and usage is presented. Based upon the observations, an evaluation basis for onsite wastewater systems is proposed. Criteria and requirements for conducting and monitoring demonstration projects is presented. Wastewater systems identified as potentials for demonstration projects are suggested. Topics requiring further study are identified and recommended for specific research.
