Could you please explain why the site and the soil need to be evaluated before installing a reliable wastewater treatment system?

How soil type determines treatment

The site and soil evaluation determines treatment solutions fitness or specifies location limitations. The goal of site assessment is to understand the soil system and the hydrology of the site, to predict the flow of sewage through the soil and into subsurface materials, and to design the wastewater treatment system to match the soil system and the hydrology of the site.

 

The detailed evaluation helps to predict how the system will function at this particular place. Commonly the functionality of the onsite system depends on the ability of the soil to absorb wastewater, the likely pathways of water flow from the site and the treatment received by the wastewater.

 

To install a reliable system in place, it is necessary to evaluate several factors. These factors determine the best type of wastewater treatment solution suited for the site:

  • Available space;
  • Depth and type of the soil, such as soil texture, soil structure, clay mineralogy, presence of organic soil;
  • Depth of the basic rock;
  • The slope and position of the landscape;
  • Moisture of the soil and height of the groundwater.

VillageWaters Project
VillageWaters suggest most effective wastewater treatment solutions in scattered dwellings households, which use their own, independently operated water purification systems.

Helping Homeowners
Environmentally oriented families and homeowners, who live in scattered dwellings areas, where connecting to larger wastewater plants is not option because rural distances.
