This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban sanitation and solid waste sectors are under significant pressure in East Africa due to the lack of competent institutional capacity and the growth of the region’s urban population. This book presents and applies an original analytical approach to assess the existing socio-technical mixtures of waste and sanitation systems and to ensure wider access, increase flexibility and ecological sustainability. It shows how the problem is not the current diversity in waste and sanitation infrastructures and services and variety of types and scales of technology, of formal and informal sector involvement, and of management and ownership modes. The book focuses instead on the lack of an integrative approach to managing and upgrading of the various waste and sanitation configurations and services so as to ensure wider access, flexibility and sustainability for the low income populations who happen to be the main stakeholders. This approach, coined "Modernized Mixtures", serves as a nexus throughout the book. The empirical core addresses the waste and sanitation challenges and debates at each scale - from the micro-level (households) to the macro-level (international support) - and is based on the results of a five-year-long interdisciplinary, empirical research program. It assesses the socio-technical diversity in waste and sanitation and provides viable solutions to sanitation and waste management in East Africa. This book provides students, researchers and professional in environmental technology, sociology, management and urban planning with an integrated analytical perspective on centralized and decentralized waste and sanitation configurations and tools for improvement in the technology, policy and management of sanitation and solid waste sectors.

This book was released on 2020-02-07 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Management of sludge is one of the most pressing issues in sanitation provision. The situation is especially complex when large quantities of fresh sludge containing various contaminants are generated in onsite sanitation systems in urban slums, emergency settlements and wastewater treatment facilities that require proper disposal of the sludge. The application of fast and efficient sludge management methods is important under these conditions. This study focused on the development of an innovative sludge treatment unit that is based on the microwave irradiation technology. The technology provides a rapid and efficient option for sludge treatment in isolated conditions such as slum, emergency, and similar situations. The microwave based technology forms part of the eSOS (emergency sanitation operation system) concept that promotes an integrated sanitation approach in which all components of the entire sanitation chain are planned holistically. Besides, the study addresses the deficiencies associated with the poor choice of emergency sanitation technology options by proposing a methodology that is based on compensatory multi-criteria analysis. This study contributes in providing solutions towards improved sanitation in complex scenarios, especially the management of faecal sludge in emergency and slum conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report is a product arising from the work of the Sustainable Sanitation Alliance which was initiated prior to the International Year of Sanitation in 2008 in an attempt to inject sustainable development ideas into the sanitation sector. It functions as a vision document for those policymakers, researchers and practitioners that are striving towards fundamental reform and improvements within the sanitation sector in both rural and urban populations in all countries of the world. It reviews the global progress being made towards achieving the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target on sanitation. A literature review is presented on sanitation provision including human health impacts and the estimated costs and benefits of achieving the MDG target. The report also provides a critique in that the UN has not yet introduced the concept of sustainability into the MDG programme in general and in particular into the sanitation sector which is highly dysfunctional and suffering from limited political leadership at both the local and global levels. It introduces the various sustainable sanitation options available and what approaches can be taken to improve sanitation systems – not just toilets which are only a small part of the overall system of food, nutrients and water cycles. The study estimates the numbers of urban and rural households, including slum populations that are being targeted in all world regions. It also evaluates the historic trends in morbidity and mortality linked to diarrhoea arising from lack of functioning sanitation services comparing these to the UN data on sanitation coverage. The report estimates the potential fertiliser replacement capacity that reuse of human excreta can have for all world regions. Finally it provides a vision for future development within the sector where more sustainable options like source separation and reuse are promoted giving positive environmental or “green” impacts but also catalysing greater involvement and understanding on the part of individuals in society.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human activities have placed the environment in great jeopardy and resulted in the degradation of life. Fresh water resources are being polluted rapidly due to common practices of using water as a means of waste removal, among which is toilet flushing. Toilet wastewater is often not properly treated and returned to water bodies with a high level of organic materials which are considered pollutants. Consequently, not only is wild life deeply affected, but people also suffer from bad water and water-borne diseases. Meanwhile, fertile soil is becoming a rare resource because food production and consumption have removed a great amount of nutrients from the topsoil without replenishing it. These issues are intricately connected with toilet flushing and create a vicious circle that transfers valuable nutrients from soil to water, thus worsens and accelerates environmental pollution. Reversing this process by returning organic matter to the soil not only helps replenish soil but also conserves fresh water by not polluting it any further. Organic materials are broken down naturally by bacteria during decomposition processes. Therefore, taking advantage of these processes will lead to an efficient way to turn organic refuse from human activities into humus suitable for fertilizing purposes. As a result, water conservation and soil replenishment can be achieved effectively through a widespread use of composting toilets, devices that do not use water to flush but allow useful bacteria to turn refuse into fertilizer. This study first investigates the complicated relationships and mechanisms based on which sewage negatively affects the environment and how composting can change the situation. The findings are used to explore solutions for such toilets to be used widely. Through literature search, data from many different sources about soil depletion, water pollution and composting technologies are analyzed to find feasible solutions. The design phase of the project focuses on creating waterless toilets that compost refuse and can accommodate people with different needs. Issues of postures, cultural diversity, habitual differences and economic levels will be examined so a variety of designs can be created to answer those needs. This study can bring public awareness to environmental issues caused by flush toilets and sewage, and assist in the designing and implementation of new composting toilets. Environmental pollution related to human elimination activities, feasible solutions of compo sting human refuse are addressed comprehensively in perspective with each other for a better understanding of the proposed directions in toilet designs. The goal of this project is to promote a broad implementation of user-friendly composting toilets that result in better water conservation, soil replenishment, human health and ultimately a sustainable life.
