Decentralised wastewater systems offer sustainable household management but require better planning. A new framework integrates asset and risk management for improved decision-making and sustainable outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Engineering
  • Water Resource Management
  • Sustainable Systems

Background:

  • Decentralised systems are a viable option for sustainable household wastewater management.
  • Current planning and management approaches for these systems are often inadequate, leading to their underutilization.
  • Improved decision-making frameworks are crucial to realize the full potential of decentralised wastewater solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and demonstrate the value of a novel planning framework for decentralised wastewater systems.
  • To explicitly integrate asset management and risk management principles into the planning process.
  • To guide the development of more sustainable and effective decentralised wastewater management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive synthesis of literature and best practices in centralised wastewater asset management.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Adaptation of risk management principles specifically for decentralised systems.
  • Development and application of a novel framework incorporating socio-economic, engineering, public health, and ecological risks.
  • Utilisation of a case study to illustrate the framework's practical application and impact.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed framework provides a structured approach to planning decentralised wastewater systems.
    • It emphasizes the importance of considering a broad spectrum of risks, including socio-economic factors.
    • Effective stakeholder communication and a shared asset information system are identified as critical components.
    • The case study demonstrated that the framework leads to more sustainable outcomes by considering diverse perspectives.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel framework enhances the planning and management of decentralised wastewater systems.
    • Explicit consideration of asset management, diverse risks, and stakeholder engagement is key to sustainable outcomes.
    • This approach promotes better decision-making, leading to more effective and widely accepted decentralised solutions.
