ACTIONS

Prevent, manage and treat wastewater

• Prepare a site drainage plan and identify all water sources and runoff areas.

• Ensure that disposal of wastewater removed from site only takes place at appropriate facilities.

• Investigate alternative temporary toilets that save water and reduce the need for chemicals, such as vacuum loos, compost toilets.

• Identify grey water streams that could be reused, e.g. water generated from hand wash basins & showers and methods of reusing grey water onsite (e.g. irrigation/flushing toilets).

• If event organisers own their venue, install ecofriendly permanent toilets.

• Separate urine from sewage waste at source and harvest nutrients from the urine for reuse in agriculture.

• Design an adequate, permanent (and legal) onsite system to treat wastewater naturally onsite by installing retention ponds and reed beds.
