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.
