The size of a wastewater containment system is determined by considering several factors. The estimated volume of wastewater generated is key to determining the necessary capacity of a containment system. This can be calculated based on factors such as population size, water usage patterns, and industry-specific wastewater generation rates.
Any regulatory requirements and standards for wastewater storage and treatment must also be taken into account, as well as the required retention time for effective treatment.Site-specific factors like available space, topography, and soil conditions are also important in determining the appropriate size of the containment system.
