This practical book is organized into five chapters, with Chapter 1 including background information on the historical and current usage of septic tank systems, and Chapter 5 summarizing the key features of the book. Chapter 2 is related to the engineering design, placement, and operation and maintenance procedures for these systems. Chapter 3 summarizes the types of pollutants and mechanisms of contamination via the unsaturated zone into the ground water system. The transport and fate of bacteria and viruses in soils and ground water are addressed along with inorganic contaminants such as phosphorus, nitrogen, chlorides, and metals, and contaminants such as cleaning agents and pesticides. Chapter 4 is focused on the evaluation of septic tank system effects on ground water quality via the usage of empirical index methods or analytical or numerical models. This book is used by planners and designers, and by regulatory agencies related to ground water pollution control and management.
