Abstract:
The Government of India has made increased funding available for sanitation infrastructure via the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission. These resources are sorely needed, but money alone cannot solve the problem; municipal agencies need sound technical advice on the planning of new investments and the delivery of sanitation services.
This guide aims to meet some of those needs by providing advice on the selection of technology options for urban sanitation, whether for new infrastructure or the upgrading of existing services.
The guide has been written for both technical and nontechnical professionals responsible for urban sanitation. Contents:
The guide comprises four parts:
Part A sets technology selection in the context of the range of issues and challenges that urban sanitation programs need to address.
Part B provides an introduction to sanitation technology for nontechnical specialists.
Part C sets out a logical process for technology selection, both for new services and upgrading. Part D is a 'toolkit' comprising information sheets on sanitation technologies; management options for service delivery and maintenance; and various communication tools to facilitate community consultation and participation in decisionmaking.
