The Integrity Management Toolbox for Water Sector SME proposes a systematic bottom-up approach to tackling integrity issues of small and medium-sized enterprises of the Zambian water and sanitation sector. In an initial two-day workshop, the first six steps (Steps 1-6) are completed, defining priority actions to be taken in the Integrity Change Process. The last step (Step 7) is implemented within the SMEs during a period of several months or years depending on the complexity of the chosen integrity instruments. This description lists and describes integrity risks relevant to SME of the Zambian water sector.

In this study, the performance of an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) in the treatment of domestic wastewater was assessed by extrapolating existing understanding of the characteristics of laboratory-scale ABRs to design a pilot-scale reactor. The report proposes improvements in ABR dimensions and installation in Guidelines for the design, operation and maintenance of an ABR treating domestic wastewater. Recommendations regarding the appropriateness of the system for different applications and suggestions for management and maintenance strategies were made.
