Planning & Design of Sanitation Systems and Technologies

457 notes

Do you want to learn how to plan affordable and context-specific sanitation solutions? Be up-to-date on the newest developments in urban sanitation planning and programming? Get to know best practice examples of urban sanitation systems in low- and middle-income countries? If yes, this course is for you! This course provides you with an introduction to integrated sanitation planning, both on a citywide scale and for specific contexts such as informal settlements. You will become familiar with different sanitation planning frameworks as well as different systems and technologies relevant along the sanitation value chain. You will learn why systems’ thinking is crucial for urban environmental sanitation, and how to apply key terminology and important concepts. INSTRUCTION Eawag-Sandec and EPFL jointly offer this course with support from sanitation experts of the World Bank and WHO. LANGUAGES We simultaneously offer this course in English and French. The name of the French course is « Planification & Design des Systèmes et Technologies d’Assainissement ». MOOC SERIES This course is one of four in the series “Sanitation, Water and Solid Waste for Development".

À partir de la leçon

Sanitation systems & technologies

After getting to know different sanitation planning frameworks in the first part of this week, you will learn about the key terminology and concepts used in the systems approach to environmental sanitation. We will also explore why systems thinking is crucial for urban environmental sanitation.

Welcome back.

Last week, we learned a lot about urban sanitation

both at the city-wide and at the community level.

This week, we'll provide a systematic overview

of the sanitation value chain and the relevant technologies

that are applicable to urban settings.

At the start of our second week, we would like to highlight

a useful document that we will be using during the next weeks:

The Compendium of Sanitation Systems and Technologies.

This book was first published in 2008 and has just now been republished

in an updated second version.

It has gained popularity among engineers and planners

because it structures the whole range of urban, peri-urban and rural

sanitation technologies in low and middle income countries

in one single document.

The Compendium is available both as hard copy,

and in an interactive, online version called the eCompendium.

The Compendium has since been translated into several languages

shown here and can also be downloaded from the website given here.

The Compendium is divided into two parts, and is color-coded for easy reference.

The first part provides an overview of nine basic sanitation systems,

ranging from the most simple, the single pit system,

to the complex, sewerage system with urine diversion.

The second part, shown here on the right,

consists of 57 technology information sheets

which describe tried and tested sanitation technologies.

Each of these fact sheets explains how a technology functions

and for which system it can be used.

Now there is also an online version of The Compendium of Sanitation Systems.

It's called the eCompendium.

Compared to the print version, it offers the user easy navigation

within the Compendium. For example, on the system templates,

you can choose the different technologies that you'd like to look at.

Given here by a gas reactor, you simply click on that

and it takes you directly to the technology.

There is also a filter function, which facilitates the combination

of suitable technologies and links to the SSWM tool box.

The eCompendium also allows you to study the different technologies in detail

and is linked to the SSWM tool box with a lot of additional information,

case studies, further reading, training material and videos

on the different technologies presented.

And finally, the eCompendium also offers a complete glossary

of environmental sanitation terminology that provide a short and precise

definition of all terms covered in the Compendium.
