Domestic Wastewater Treatment in Developing Countries

Resumen del Libro

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.

Investigative reporter Anabel Hernández reconstructs the terrible events of...

El público fantasma

En una era disgustada con los políticos y los diversos instrumentos de democracia directa, El público fantasma de Walter Lippmann no ha perdido un ápice de actualidad. Esta obra nos muestra al Lippmann más crítico con la democracia americana. De sentimiento antipopulista, este libro defiende el elitismo como una opción intelectual seria y distintiva que cuenta con una larga tradición en América. La visión desmitificadora del sistema americano de Lippmann resuena en el presente. En El público fantasma se discute sobre el hombre desencantado que se ha desilusionado no solo con la...

La Inversión Extranjera Directa en América Latina y el Caribe

In 2008, inward foreign direct investment (FDI) in Latin America and the Caribbean rose to a new record high despite slowing with respect to the previous year, and the region's outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) reached its second highest level ever. Considering the economic and financial turmoil of the times, these results are surprisingly positive, but caution needs to be exercised in their interpretation. Many of the investments carried out in 2008 reflected the inertia effects of pre-crisis market trends, and capital flows in 2009 are in fact expected to fall. Focusing on the impact ...
