个人简介
Before Professor Mara’s exhaustive research on waste stabilizations ponds, design methods were varied and unreliable. Little was known about the precise mechanisms of operation and how they achieved the high levels of treatment for both organic matter and pathogen removal. Many systems were either over-designed (thereby wasting land) or under-designed (thereby causing operational problems). Through a systematic evaluation of performance, the research teams he led provided the basis for greatly improved design procedures for both the process and the physical design of WSOs. This resulted in an increased uptake of the technology in both low and high-income settings. As the knowledge improved, various hybrid designs were developed, for example, high-rate anaerobic ponds, which offer the dual advantages of a simple and cheap construction with the benefits of up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket processes. Complementary innovations that he developed included the addition of rock filters and other systems to improve WSP effluent quality and design protocols for effluent storage reservoirs. Today, Mara’s work is considered the design standard by which others are measured. He has produced design manuals, including operational experience, for many different regions of the world.
