6.7.1 <strong>Wastewater</strong> Segregation<br />

Among the wastewater segregation components which significantly alter<br />

wastewater quality are the non-water carriage toilets (Table 5-3), <strong>and</strong><br />

the very low water flush toilets (Table 5-2) with blackwater contain-<br />

ment. Impacts of wastewater modification on onsite disposal practices<br />

are outlined in Table 5-9.<br />

The graywater resulting from toilet segregation practices normally re-<br />

quire some treatment prior to ,disposal (Tables 4-4 <strong>and</strong> 4-5 - "Basins,<br />

Sinks, <strong>and</strong> Appliances"). <strong>Treatment</strong> methods for graywater are similar to<br />

those employed for household wastewaters (Sections 6.2 to 6.6 <strong>and</strong> Figure<br />

5-2), but performance data are lacking.<br />
