Contents: The mail elements are:
- The waste and sanitation problems in industrialised and developing regions. Typical generation pattern for waste (human excreta, solid waste, waste water, industrial waste).
- Flow pattern analysis for materials, and conservation of resources as decision tools in environmental engineering and sanitation programmes.
