TP – 1262 An Introduction to Field Investigations for Wastewater Land Treatment for Professional Engineers

Description

In contrast to conventional technologies, the analysis and design of land treatment systems requires specific information on the properties of the proposed site or sites. Too little field data may lead to erroneous conclusions while too much will result in unnecessarily high costs with little refinement in the design concept. Experience indicates that where uncertainty exists, it is prudent to adopt a conservative posture relative to data gathering requirements.
