Effluent flux prediction in variably saturated soil zones within a septic tank—soil absorption trench
2006
Australian Journal of Soil Research
The treatment and hydraulic mechanisms in a septic tank -soil absorption system (SAS) are highly influenced by the clogging layer or biomat zone which develops on bottom and lower sidewall surfaces within the trench. Flow rates through the biomat and sub-biomat zones are governed largely by the biomat hydraulic properties (resistance and hydraulic conductivity) and the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity of the underlying soil. One dimensional and two dimensional models were used to investigate
