 abstract = {"Today, decentralised sewage disposal plants are increasingly accepted as permanent solution
in rural areas. However, it is still debated in which cases they are more appropriate than
central systems. The following paper deals with technological and institutional aspects of this
problem. It poses the questions, which problems will arise if decentralised systems gain
ground, which solutions may be necessary and how do these solutions affect the costs of
decentralised systems? Although decentralised systems can keep up with central systems regarding costs for investment and operation as well as treatment efficiency, they still fail to meet quality standards in everyday life. To achieve a better compliance, technological as well as
institutional approaches seem to be necessary. First, technologies of treatment plants, process
control and maintenance should be optimized. Second, governmental controlling institutions
must be adjusted. On the one hand, this is due to the increasing number of autonomous
stakeholders involved. On the other hand, this is caused by the public good character of waste
water treatment once it exceeds the basic needs of households. Thus, easy riding of
households occurs. Better controlling institutions may not only minimise easy riding but also
foster technological progress. Together, technological progress as well as new controlling
institutions will influence private and social costs of decentralised systems and thus their
range of use." (author's abstract)},
