the sewer and forcing a length <strong>of</strong> rigid wire through the sewer. Inspection chambers must be<br />

emptied periodically to prevent grit overflowing into the system.<br />

Pros & Cons:<br />

Can be built and repaired with locally available materials<br />

Construction can provide short-term employment to local labourers<br />

Capital costs are between 50 and 80% less than Conventional Gravity Sewers; operating<br />

costs are low<br />

Can be extended as a community changes and grows<br />

Requires expert design and construction supervision<br />

Requires repairs and removals <strong>of</strong> blockages more frequently than a Conventional Gravity<br />

Sewer<br />

Effluent and sludge (from interceptors) requires secondary treatment and/or appropriate<br />

discharge.<br />

Anaerobic Baffled Reactor (Popularly called as DEWATS)<br />

Application Level- Neighborhood, Household, Public<br />

An Anaerobic Baffled Reactor (ABR) is an improved septic tank because <strong>of</strong> the series <strong>of</strong> baffles under<br />

which the wastewater is forced to flow. The increased contact time with the active biomass (sludge)<br />

results in improved treatment. The system operates without mechanical means and sewage flows by<br />

gravity through the different components <strong>of</strong> the system. Up to 1,000 cubic metre <strong>of</strong> domestic and<br />

non-toxic industrial sewage can be treated by this system. DEWATS applications are based on the<br />

principle <strong>of</strong> low-maintenance since most important parts <strong>of</strong> the system work without electrical<br />

energy inputs and cannot be switched <strong>of</strong>f intentionally (BORDA). DEWATS applications provide<br />

state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art-technology at affordable prices because all <strong>of</strong> the materials used for construction<br />

are locally available. DEWATS approach is an effective, efficient and affordable wastewater<br />

treatment solution for not only small and medium sized enterprises (SME) but also for the un-served<br />

urban households in developing countries, especially South Asia. For instance, DEWATS can operate<br />

in individual households, at the neighborhood level and even in small and big factories not<br />

connected to sewage lines. DEWATS can also treat municipal waste. The recycled water is used for<br />
