| Abstract |
Septic tank-soil absorption systems are the most widely-used method of on-site domestic waste disposal. Almost one-third of the United States population depends on such systems. Although the percentage of newly constructed homes utilizing septic tanks is decreasing, the total number continues to increase. Properly designed, constructed, and operated septic tank systems have demonstrated an efficient and economical alternative to public sewer systems, particularly in rural and sparsely developed suburban areas. However, because of their widespread use in unsuitable situations, they have also demonstrated the potential for contamination of ground and surface waters. |
