Abstract: Systems and apparatus are provided for treating waste-containing water such as toilet waste. In one aspect, an apparatus for secondary treatment of effluent from a water treatment process, includes a medium-filled tank adapted for gravity flow of the effluent through a plurality of discrete zones formed in the medium, wherein effluent flow through zones is alternately upward or downward. Further, a waste treatment system includes a primary tank for receiving undiluted waste and a medium-filled secondary tank for receiving gravity feed of effluent from the primary tank, wherein the secondary tank is adapted for gravity flow of the effluent through a plurality of discrete zones formed in the medium, and wherein effluent flow through zones is alternately upward or downward.
