Decentralized approaches can complement conventional treatment systems with its simple designs; low maintenance costs, non-dependence on energy, adaptability to varying loads providing on-site treatment solutions. Moreover the infrastructure can be implemented incrementally. A master plan approach to sanitation can help local governments by identifying grey areas which are not served by centralized sewerage system and find appropriate solutions for those areas.
