Greetings,
If human waste qualifies as "animal" then we have what your looking for
treating our town's sewage. The Arcata Marsh is a wetland waste treatment
facility, using the natural filtration system you refer to, that has come
to double as a bird sanctuary on the Humboldt Bay. We have a rudimentary
web site at:
http://www.humnat.org/wastwet.htm
It is considered to be world class appropriate tech. We plan to
expand the web site into a virtual distance learning production that
will detail the process.
