Water Infrastructure
Swage Infrastructure
Gary Water System The Arava Institute is proposing an alternative solution for wastewater management in which is decentralized or off-grid sewage management. The proposal is to connect village neighborhoods to onsite wastewater treatment and reuse systems. In this way sewage is treated safely without the need for expensive and complex infrastructure and the community benefits from an additional source of water for local agriculture. As a first stage in our project we are reaching out to all relevant stakeholders to receive their input on the decentralized approach to wastewater management.
