Abstract
The system offering low-tech low-cost treatment of municipal sewage is described. It is based on a ponding process followed by a trickling f ilter (TF). Micro-algae produced in stabilization ponds are removed in the TF It is suggested that micro-algae contribute to biofilm product ion and organic load reduction in the TF.
