Treatment performance of a free water surface constructed wetland system receiving sugar factory effluents in the Lake Victoria region

The aim of the project was to investigate strategies for improving the wastewater treatment of the factory with constructed wetlands. As part of that project, eight pilot scale free-water surface wetlands were constructed to facilitate experiments with such systems. Those pilot scale wetlands will be used in the proposed study.

Credit for Water and Sanitation Improvements. A Case Study of Women's Self-Help Groups in Tamil Nadu, India

In this case study we examine a program carried out in and around the city of Tiruchirappalli (Trichy), Tamil Nadu, India. This WaterPartners microfinance program was implemented by our partner organization, Gramalaya, a water and sanitation focused non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Trichy. The program involved the construction of water and sanitation facilities by mobilizing a network of women's self-help groups (SHGs) to utilize a revolving loan fund.

Local Financing Mechanisms for Water Supply and Sanitation Investments

This paper shows how local microfinance activities such as revolving funds and community rotating savings and credit associations (ROSCAS) work for improving water and sanitation in Ghana. In addition, other examples of local microfinance mechanisms for water and sanitation from Cambodia, Uganda, Cote d'Ivoire and India are provided.
