Wastewater characteristics for developing countries are usually either very generalising, outdated or only applicable in a limited context under specific circumstances. The goal of this assignment is to review and collate accessible data on DEWATS design parameters in developing countries and where possible to classify it depending on country and income group in order to • identify knowledge gaps which will guide future BORDA R&D efforts • form […]
This issue of Outlook establishes menstrual health as a sexual and reproductive health and rights issue; presents the obstacles to and the consequences of not promoting and protecting menstrual health; and highlights opportunities to improve menstrual health in low-resource settings.
Key Messages: • Inadequate sanitation and hygiene adversely impacts human well-being. • In Tanzania basic latrine coverage is high but this still constitutes inadequate sanitation • Some families continue to defecate in the open • Handwashing with soap is not practiced consistently or at the key junctures. • WSP is implementing a project to scale up access to improved sanitation and hygiene in Tanzania

VIA Water Webconference discussing treatment of Faecal Sludge
While rapidly-growing towns across Bangladesh don’t have proper sewerage system, the country has made a remarkable progress in terms of sanitation. Practical Action has been in the forefront of the faecal sludge management (FSM) practices in Bangladesh.
La vidange hygiénique alternative des fosses de latrines représente une nécessité primordiale dans un contexte où l’assainissement dans les pays en voie de développement repose toujours plus sur les systèmes autonomes qui écessitent tous des opérations de vidange à un moment donné. Le terme « vidange hygiénique alternative » intègre deux concepts qui constituent de véritables défis sur les plans techniques, sociologiques et économiques. En […]
