SYNOPSIS

Eco Engineering is the best way forward in conserving our environment. Amidst the Eco Engineering is the ecological sanitation or Ecosan concept which advocates no mixing of various wastewater streams, but to deal with it individually at source with simple proven treatment processes.This paper describes how a river can get cleaned up without any works done to it except by closing the loops of various wastewater streams e.g rainwater, stormwater, greywater, sewage and organic matters. The closing loop also allows wastes to be recovered and converted into resources.
