Perspectives are different frameworks from which to explore the knowledge around sustainable sanitation and water management. Perspectives are like filters: they compile and structure the information that relate to a given focus theme, region or context. This allows you to quickly navigate to the content of your particular interest while promoting the holistic understanding of sustainable sanitation and water management.
Advanced facultative ponds are the first step in advanced integrated wastewater pond (AIWP) systems. They consist of a conventional facultative pond, containing a digestion pit on its bottom, where solids are trapped and transformed into methane by anaerobic digestion. The surface aerobic layer is about 1 meter deep and helps reducing potential odour problems. Biogas may be collected using a submerged gas canopy and potentially used for energy production.
