| Aim: To describe acceptable, appropiate and affordable systems for water supply in rural, semirural, townships and larger cities in developing countries, and the appropriate methods in sewage and for treatment of produced sewage in the same settings with maximum supply safety and quality assurance for chemical and hygienic parameters. |
Contents: The main elements are:
- The water supply and sewage outlet problems in developing countries. Typical water consumption and sewage generation patterns.
- Flow analysis for water ressources management, and conservation of resources as decision tools in water engineering and sanitation programmes.
- Unit operations and processes in water abstraction and treatment, as well as sewerage, environmental impact, and possible recycling options.
- Interaction with other segments of society, with focus on rural-urban co-operation.
- Water Authorities, Operation and maintenance, ensuring water quality and quantity, co-operation and limiting elements in water systems. Possible scenarios for sustainable solutions.
- Economy, social acceptability and political realities in creating and running entire water systems. |
