Abstract:
Engineers in developing countries are presented with alternative technological solutions for water supply and waste disposal in rural areas. Local materials and skills are promoted and where possible the usefulness, disadvantages, and limitations of the techniques described are discussed.
There are sections on:
1. water collection from different sources.
2. water treatment (coagulation/flocculation, filtration, chemical dosing and iron removal).
3. water transport and distribution (pipes, simple pumps and waste reduction).
4. wastewater and solid waste disposal (pit latrines, composting septic tanks and aquaprivies).
