Perspectives are different frameworks from which to explore the knowledge around sustainable sanitation and water management. Perspectives are like filters: they compile and structure the information that relate to a given focus theme, region or context. This allows you to quickly navigate to the content of your particular interest while promoting the holistic understanding of sustainable sanitation and water management.
Soil Aquifer Treatment is an artificial groundwater recharge method. Water is introduced into the groundwater under controlled conditions via soil percolation. Soil aquifer treatment is either used to artificially augment the groundwater level in order to withdraw freshwater at a later stage or as a barrier to prevent saltwater or contaminants from entering the aquifer. During percolation, soil filtration occurs and the water remains some time in the aquifer where mixing and may some other physical and chemical reaction occur, so it can be used as reclaimed water (treated blackwater) or relatively little polluted water (e.g. pre-treated greywater or stormwater).
