Description:
This report is a compilation of laboratory and field investigations conducted at the University of Wisconsin since 1971. As its primary objective, the research program was to conceive, evaluate and develop satisfactory methods for the on-site treatment and disposal of wastewaters, regardless of the site constraints. The studies were subdivided into several categories including characterization of household and commercial wastewaters, assessment of wastewater treatment alternatives, evaluation of soils for treatment and disposal of wastewater, estimation of infiltrative capacities of soils, design and operation of alternative systems dependent upon soil design and operation of alternative systems not dependent upon soil, management of on-site disposal systems and institutional and regulatory control of on-site systems.
