| The number of Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plants (DWTP) in Greece has increased rapidly during the last decade. There is in progress an extensive survey in all over Greece considering all existing plants, which are in operation or under construction, during local visits and completing a questionnaire and collecting various data related to the construction, operation and maintenance, the regional water balance, the availability of arable land for irrigation, the type of disposal sites for the effluent and sludge used, the possibility for groundwater recharge, the quality of the effluent and so on. With this analysis and evaluation of the data collected from 115 DWTPs significant and useful information, related to the disposal sites of effluent and sludge and the potential for wastewater effluent reuse are presented. |
