Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Decentralized wastewater systems offer advantages in urban environments where large-scale, centralized facilities will struggle to meet increased demand. This study assesses an in-house wetland water reuse system using life-cycle assessment (LCA). Although the decentralized system allows for a flexible solution for water reuse and treatment, inefficiencies in design contribute to a significant environmental footprint. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are driven by settling tank emissions, while energy use is dominated by pumping demands for recirculation through the wetland system. These results are compared to a full LCA of the local centralized wastewater treatment system, and future scenarios for scaling up decentralized use will be assessed.
