Additional information
Not only does this study explore the impact of the length of travel through unsaturated zone on the removal of DOC and nitrogen using poor quality wastewater effluents which has never been well explored but also it examines the effect of soils type on the removal efficiencies. This study reveals that a large concentration of microorganisms exist near the infiltration surface resulting in a greater proportion of the removal to occur within the first few cm of the soil. Significant effects were observed for the type of soil on DOC removal which will impact on the design specifications of SAT.
