Summary of three prototypes that resulted from the co-design process implemented in the study area

Prototype Scale of treatment (beneficiaries) Investment Costs in USD Operation & Maintenance requirements Stakeholder involvement: Municipality Stakeholder involvement: Neighbours
Horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland Household level (1 house) 2500 System works by gravity and natural processes. Cleaning the vegetated surface (carried out by the house owner)

Consult

Municipality approved the modification of public space

Bioretention area Street level (15 houses) 11 000 System works by gravity and natural processes; cleaning and pruning the vegetated surface, removing solid waste from the system’s components

Partner

Municipality is committed to maintain the prototype

Consult
Infiltration area Sub-basin level (approx. 260 houses) 35 000

Involve
