These two books are detailed with alternative technology as an alternative to the traditional wastewater treatment systems. It outlines and explains in detail the negative effects of having the traditional waste water treatment especially in the congested cities and offers solutions to tackle these new challenges.

These two books are very important and this is because they mainly discuss the environmental impact of wastewater treatment system. Both advantages and disadvantages are outlined and explained and I believe it contains very important information that will help me complete my Environmental Impact Statement.

The chapters from this book will help me to evaluate the environmental factors needed when conducting an environmental analysis.
