Ecological Sanitation in Uganda

This document presents a range of different projects implemented in Uganda around ecological sanitation, such as school sanitation, biogas and sludge treatmemt. These documented cases have been compiled in completion of a 15 months Ecological Sanitation Research Project implemented by Network for Water and Sanitation (NETWAS) Uganda as the ecosanres Uganda Knowledge Node with support from the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI).

Temperature Effects on Bank Filtration: Redox Conditions and Physical-chemical Parameters of Pore Water at Lake Tegel, Berlin, Germany

This research paper from Lake Tegel in Berlin, Germany, describes how water warming through climate change can lead to large-scale changes in natural self-purification capacities during bank filtration, such as decrease in redox potential and the development of anoxic conditions. Rather suited for people with biochemical knowledge.

Opportunities for Sanitation Market in Uganda. The publication was prepared by the Academy for Educational Development's Hygiene for review by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)

In October 2007, a team of consultants from the USAID–funded Hygiene Improvement Project (HIP) visited Uganda to determine if sanitation marketing (SM) would be a viable approach in Uganda, and to make specific recommendations to HIP and the donor community that would move the sanitation marketing agenda forward. This report presents the key findings and recommendations stemming from the trip.

Riverbank Filtration for Sustainable Water Supply. Application to a Large-scale Facility on the Nile River

This case study of a riverbank filtration (RBF) scheme at the Nile River (Upper Egypt) analyses water samples. Comparison of produced water with surface and background natural groundwater has proven effectiveness of the RBF technique for potable water supply in Upper Egypt.

Microfinance for Water and Sanitation: A Case Study from Tiruchirappali, India

This paper looks at the development of a water and sanitation loan fund deployed through a network of women’s selfhelp groups in Southern India. The success of the loan fund reduced barriers to credit from formal lending institutions and increased investment in water and sanitation facilities. Results from this case study indicate that microfinance principles can be successfully applied to the water and sanitation sector. The objectives of this case study are to summarize what is known about this loan program and explore the possibilities and limitations of this new financing model for the water and sanitation sector.
