This book covers the public health, technical, socioeconomic,
sociocultural and institutional aspects of sanitation in towns and
cities of developing countries. The text features excreta-related
diseases and the use of sanitation to reduce their transmission.
The sanitation technologies covered in detail are VIP latrines,
pour-flush toilets, septic tanks, settled sewerage and simplified
sewerage, with additional chapters on sullage disposal, pit
emptying, and sewage treatment and reuse. Sociocultural constraints
on sanitation systems and their socioeconomic costing are
described, together with hygiene education, which is essential in
order to achieve maximum benefits to health. The text also explains
how to choose the most appropriate sanitation option for a given
low-income community. Finally, institutional aspects are reviewed,
including effective sanitation programme planning, monitoring and
evaluation.
