    Abstract
    The most common on-site wastewater treatment system (OWTS) in Australia is the septic tank - soil absorption system (SAS). In this paper, an introduction of some management issues and public perceptions of SAS is followed by a description of the key mechanisms and hydrology of SAS. This paper also discusses the performance of SAS, particularly in terms of the current and future role of SAS in sustainable management of domestic wastewater in Australia.The most common on-site wastewater treatment system (OWTS) in Australia is the septic tank - soil absorption system (SAS).
