About This Book

A practical manual outlines principles and procedures for safe disposal of household sewage on farms, defining sewage and sewerage, estimating volumes and composition, and identifying health hazards from pathogens and parasites. It explains biological decomposition and the importance of aeration, then provides step‑by‑step guidance on kitchen drains, cesspools, septic tanks, grease traps, distribution fields, and related construction details. Emphasis is placed on basing designs on local field data, proper installation, and continuous operation and maintenance to avoid odors, nuisance, and contamination of water supplies; illustrative plans and adaptable recommendations help readers select suitable treatments for varied site conditions.
