Sustainable Onsite Wastewater Treatment in Jimma, Ethiopia

This project focuses on remediating environmental pollution in Jimma, Ethiopia, caused by wastewater discharge through the development of low-cost onsite treatment systems. The study concludes that these systems are feasible and affordable in developing countries like Ethiopia. The work includes cell configuration, sampling stations, DO and BOD concentration, and descriptions of subsurface flow constructed wetlands and sand filters for effective use in Ethiopia. This project was conducted as part of the IUC-JU initiative with the aim of improving wastewater treatment technologies in a sustainable manner.

  1. Remediation of environmental pollution in Jimma town, Ethiopia, caused by wastewater discharge through development of low cost onsite treatment systems Alemayehu Haddis Promoters: Bart Van der Bruggen, Ilse Smets: KU leuven, Belgium Work Packages Cell configuration a) Sampling stations b) Concentration of DO and BOD C) Concentration of Ammonia, Nitrites & Nitrates Conclusion Onsite low cost waste water treatment systems are technologically feasible and economically affordable for developing countries like Ethiopia. Existing treatment technologies are not efficient and cant be sustained. Subsurface flow constructed wetlands and sand filters must be fully described for use in Ethiopia This is PhD work done in the context of the IUC-JU project.
