[USCC] What to do with sludge

[stuti sharma]

Hi everyone

Im working with an Indian environmental NGO and we are currently in the
process of accumulating data and creating nation wide networks on sewage
sludge management. It is currently not a very widespread practice in India.
We are hoping to prevent waste dumping into oceans and water bodies that
leads to contamination. Any help from anyone regarding information or
contacts or initial documentaion regarding sewage management would be
greatly appreciated. Also any information on wheather small scale treatment
of sewage is possible for a community of 500 to 1000 households.

Thanks
Stu
