Wastewater management in coastal urban areas: the case of Greece
Abstract
The continuously increasing quantities of municipal and industrial wastewater discharged into the sea environment degrade the quality of the water. In this paper, the recent technologies are evaluated, and the practices recommended for the wastewater treatment in coastal urban areas are analyzed, with respect to the requirements of the EU legislation. Also the principles for the disposal of the treated wastewater are discussed. Finally, a brief review of the current situation of wastewater management in Greece is given, regarding the treatment strategies previously presented
