maasuodatus
Maasuodatus is a Finnish term referring to the process of wastewater treatment, specifically involving the use of land as a biological filter. This method utilizes the natural purification capabilities of soil and vegetation to remove pollutants from wastewater. Typically, treated or partially treated wastewater is applied to a designated land area, often consisting of soil and plant life. The wastewater then percolates through the soil layers.
During this percolation, a complex biological and physical process occurs. Microorganisms present in the soil break
Maasuodatus is considered a natural and often cost-effective wastewater treatment method, particularly suitable for rural areas
