In: UA Magazine 8 - Wastewater Reuse in Urban Agriculture

In Latin America, a limited amount of separate collectors for domestic wastewater, rainwater and industrial sewage exists. Mixed collection systems result in an increased amount of sewage to be treated and adequately disposed. Supported by IDRC and WHO, CEPIS is carrying out a research programme on integrated systems for the treatment and recycling of wastewater in Latin America. The aim is to provide cost-efficient solutions for managing domestic wastewater in agricultural activities within cities. Findings are presented here.
