nctx-water.tamu.eduThe soil makes the final treatment of the wastewater. Treatment is effective when the soil holds the wastewater long enough for microbes to remove contaminants. Aerobic microbes need air to survive. The amount of air in soil depends on the size of soil particles. Soil particle analysis determines the size of soil particles and can be used to ...
