Domestic Wastewater Treatment in Developing Countries

Resumen del Libro

Libro Domestic Wastewater Treatment in Developing Countries

Affordable and effective domestic wastewater treatment is a critical issue in public health and disease prevention around the world, particularly so in developing countries which often lack the financial and technical resources necessary for proper treatment facilities.This practical guide provides state-of-the-art coverage of methods for domestic wastewater treatment and provides a foundation to the practical design of wastewater treatment and re-use systems. The emphasis is on low-cost, low-energy, low-maintenance, high-performance 'natural' systems that contribute to environmental sustainability by producing effluents that can be safely and profitably used in agriculture for crop irrigation and/or in aquaculture, for fish and aquatic vegetable pond fertilization. Modern design methodologies, with worked design examples, are described for waste stabilization ponds, wastewater storage and treatment reservoirs; constructed wetlands, upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors, biofilters, aerated lagoons and oxidation ditches. This book is essential reading for engineers, academics and upper-level and graduate students in engineering, wastewater management and public health, and others interested in sustainable and cost-effective technologies for reducing wastewater-related diseases and environmental damage.

In this first book to compare economic ideology across a range of production systems,...

Integrated Water Resources Management as a Governance Challenge for Countries of the Middle East with Special Focus on Yemen, Jordan and Syria

Libro Integrated Water Resources Management as a Governance Challenge for Countries of the Middle East with Special Focus on Yemen, Jordan and Syria

The need for an integrated management of water resources has derived from the emerging understanding that the water crisis cannot solely be regarded as a hydrological crisis. Instead, it is frequently defined as a crisis of governance, as institutional and management scarcity are hindering a sustainable, equitable and efficient use of water resources. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is internationally accepted as a toolbox to achieve these objectives. However, implementation of the IWRM-approach is still lacking, especially in developing countries and transitional economies. This ...

Conflictos socioambientales en América Latina

Libro Conflictos socioambientales en América Latina

Durante las últimas tres décadas, las industrias extractivas y los derechos indígenas se globalizaron de manera simultánea. Así, los conflictos relacionados con la explotación de los territorios indígenas se han hecho cada vez más frecuentes, violentos y extendidos en todo el mundo. En ese proceso, también se han "juridizado": cada vez más, las instituciones y el lenguaje jurídicos son protagonistas en los modos en que se formulan, procesan y resuelven esas disputas. Este cambio, que a primera vista puede parecer positivo, requiere una mirada más atenta y matizada. Ese es el...
