Abstract The city of Ensenada (Baja California, Mexico) experiences severe water restrictions for urban and agriculture use, and reclaimed water (RW) for crop irrigation and aquifer infiltration has been identified as a promising water management option. This paper presents the path followed to consolidate the reclamation scheme that included monitoring programs on RW, groundwater, and agricultural soil. Seventy-nine percent of the RW samples complied with the particular discharge permit for El Naranjo wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), yet the local water utility has to have a better control of its wastewater treatment plant to avoid spikes of fecal coliforms. The presence of fecal coliforms in soil samples at surface and 30–60 cm depths indicates that farm workers could be at risk during the handling of the product, so it is highly recommended that workers be provided with clothes that will protect them from direct contact with water and soil. Results from monitoring wells adjacent to Las Ánimas and San Carlos creeks showed, on some occasions, the presence of fecal and total coliforms that could indicate infiltration of RW. In conclusion, technical aspects can be monitored and controlled yet the most challenging aspects that remain are social and political which require extensive negotiation and institutional arrangements.

The purpose of this research are to plan, design and estimate the construction cost of a communal wastewater treatment system in the Grand Ville Taba Lestari housing town of Lubuklinggau. The domestic wastewater, comes from businesses, residential activities, restaurants, offices, apartments and dormitories. The wastewater distribution system for residential area uses a shallow sewer system, namely domestic wastewater from sanitary ware (latrines, sinks, floor drain, kitchen sink, etc.) directly connected using a wastewater pipe and the wastewater distribution system in this design, uses a gravity system. Communal wastewater treatment plant is expected to prevent and reduce the occurrence of environmental pollution. From the site-plan, the maximum number of occupant are 369 persons, resulting in a wastewater debit of 40.51 m3/day. The designed dimensions of the wastewater treatment plant are based on the amount of wastewater produced, which is 9.5 m long, 3 m wide with a depth of 2 m. Piping network are 475.50 m of parcel pipe, 478.93 m of service pipe, 434.6 m of lateral pipe and 3 m of main pipe. The cost required for constructing the communal wastewater treatment plant in the Grand Ville Taba Lestari Housing is Rp. 335,500,000.00.-.

Abstract:Phosphorus is a major substance that is needed especially for agricultural production or for the industry. At the same time it is an important component of wastewater. At present, the waste management priority is recycling and this requirement is also transferred to wastewater treatment plants. Substances in wastewater can be recovered and utilized. In Europe (in Germany and Austria already legally binding), access to phosphorus-containing sewage treatment is changing. This paper dealt with the issue of phosphorus on the sewage treatment plant in Nitra. There are several industrial areas in Nitra where record major producers in phosphorus production in sewage. The new wastewater treatment plant is built as a mechanicalbiological wastewater treatment plant with simultaneous nitrification and denitrification, sludge regeneration, an anaerobic zone for biological phosphorus removal at the beginning of the process and chemical phosphorus precipitation. The sludge management is anaerobic sludge stabilization with heating and mechanical dewatering of stabilized sludge and gas management. The aim of the work was to document the phosphorus balance in all parts of the wastewater treatment plant - from the inflow of raw water to the outflow of purified water and the production of excess sludge. Balancing quantities in the wastewater treatment plant treatment processes provide information where efficient phosphorus recovery could be possible. The mean daily value of P tot is approximately 122.3 kg/day of these two sources. The mean daily value of P tot is approximately 122.3 kg/day of these two sources. There are also two outflows - drainage of cleaned water to the recipient - the river Nitra - 9.9 kg Ptot/day and Ptot content in sewage sludge - about 120.3 kg Ptot/day - total 130.2 kg Ptot/day.
