Notes
|
The concept shows that decentralized drainage concepts with greywater recycling are possible in developments with high urban density. The wastewater treatment plant in block 6 stood idle for 13 years due to hygiene problems of the original solution with a constructed wetland and especially when the funding by the municipality stopped. New commissioning of the greywater plant: 2007 |
