Decentralized wastewater systems (also referred to as decentralized wastewater treatment systems) convey, treat and dispose or reuse wastewater from small and low-density communities, buildings and dwellings in remote areas, individual public or private properties. [ 1] Wastewater flow is generated when appropriate water supply is available ...
In South Africa, the main driver for wastewater reuse is drought conditions. [18] For example, in Beaufort West, South Africa's a direct wastewater reclamation plant (WRP) for the production of drinking water was constructed in the end of 2010, as a result of acute water scarcity (production of 2,300 m 3 per day).
A conventional water treatment plant was also constructed to treat the surface water from this reservoir. In 1960 the Gammams Wastewater Treatment Plant was commissioned near Goreangab Dam, discharging treated wastewater downstream of the reservoir. Subsequently, industrial and domestic effluents at the wastewater treatment plant were separated ...
The Ugandan water supply and sanitation sector made substantial progress in urban areas from the mid-1990s until at least 2006, with substantial increases in coverage as well as in operational and commercial performance. [9] : pages 3–4 Sector reforms from 1998 to 2003 included the commercialization and modernization of the National Water and ...

In Kenya, the estimated connection rate is 19% (12% according to another report). [34] Of the wastewater that enters the sewer network, only about 60% reaches the treatment plants. [31] The most common solution used for wastewater treatment in Kenya are waste stabilisation ponds.
