Compendium of Sanitation Technologies in Emergencies

Aus den Angaben des Herausgebers. - The Compendium of Sanitation Technologies in Emergencies extends the scope of Sandec’s Compendium of Sanitation Systems and Technologies to the field of humanitarian aid. Not only does it cover a wider array of technologies, applicable to the different phases of an emergency, but it also provides an overview of the key cross-cutting issues influencing technology selection and supporting implementation in these contexts. It is a comprehensive, structured and user-friendly manual and planning guide which supports and enables decision making by providing the necessary framework for developing a sanitation system design. It compiles a wide range of information on tried and tested technologies in a single document and gives a systematic overview of existing and emerging sanitation technologies. In addition, it gives concise information on key decision criteria for each technology, facilitating the combination of technologies to come up with full sanitation system solutions, all linked to relevant cross-cutting issues.
