A Framework for Permitting Innovation in the Wastewater Sector
In some ways, this report can be summarized in two main results: First, despite reports about permitting as a barrier to innovation, there is little desire among utility managers for relief from stringent permit terms. Rather, the permitting process itself is identified as the primary challenge to initiating innovative projects in a timely manner.

Progress on the Proportion of Domestic and Industrial Wastewater Flows Safely Treated
This latest progress update for SDG Indicator 6.3.1 underscores the challenges associated with progress on safely treated wastewater and its monitoring. Despite the fact that we are half way through the 2015–2030 SDG period, we are still unable to make a global estimate of the fate of wastewater from all sources. However, based on the observed progress to date, it is likely that for the next indicator report in 2027 (following the 2026 data drive) we will succeed in getting additional countries’ data, which should thereby represent more than 50 per cent of the world population and 50 per cent of the countries for the proportion of total and industrial wastewater treated (Tier 1).

Lecture 4: Biological Treatment
Biological treatment is very effective at reducing high-strength biodegradable components. Broadly speaking, divided to aerobic and anaerobic technologies. Majority of leachate treatment schemes that have been successfully installed in landfill sites are anaerobic biological processes.

Wastewater Treatment Technologies – A Basic Guide
The National Water Act, 1998 (Act 36 of 1998) (NWA) states that sustainability and equity are central guiding principles in the protection, use, development, conservation, management and control of water resources. In essence the use of water and development aspects need to be managed or controlled in such a manner to protect and conserve water resources. Wastewater treatment works (WWTW), more commonly referred to as sewage works, are just one of the many uses of water that are required when development takes place. In order to ensure that the development
takes place in a manner that will be sustainable the WWTW chosen needs to be a technology type that will be suitable for a particular development and not necessarily the best available technology.

Digital Control of a Waste Water Treatment Plant
Abstract: The Activated Sludge Process (ASP) is arguably the most popular bioprocess utilized in the treatment of polluted water. The ASP is described by means of a nonlinear model and results on a Two-Input Two-Output multivariable system. In this paper a discrete time digital control is proposed where the design of a decentralized controller is faced. Local controllers are given the form of a Two-Degree-of-Freedom PI controller tuned using the data-driven Virtual-Reference Feedback tuning approach.

Design Guide for Wastewater Treatment Plants in Saudi Arabia
Introduction
Saudi Arabia has witnessed a huge urban growth in the past thirty years which led to a huge increase in the urban area and a population growth. Both were so fast for the sewage services programs (public utilities) to keep up with them, especially in urban areas. Therefore, sewage facilities are some of the most underdeveloped facilities in the country due to many reasons: the high cost of establishing these facilities compared to the other ones (infrastructure), the lack of knowledge of the seen and unseen risks of the absence of these facilities, in addition to the nonappearance of any problems from using Byaras (Septic Tank) in most of the developed districts until the population density of these districts was reached.
