This case study presents different cost-effective on-site treatment technologies with main focus on hotel greywater and blackwater treatment systems. The first greywater treatment plant was constructed for the Swiss Residence Hotel. Based on the experience gained by the Swiss Residence Hotel, further systems were implemented at the hotels Ivy Banks and Coral Sands.

This guidance note examines the conditions that determine whether an environmental hazard leads to diseases, and whether feasible measures are available to prevent it. It considers three problems which account for nearly three quarters of the environmental burden of disease: Water, sanitation and hygiene; indoor air pollution; and injuries.

This document is part of a set of three resource documents included in the Integrity Management toolbox for Water service Providers (WsPs):

• Facilitator’s Guide
• Description of WsP Integrity risks
• Description of WsP Integrity Instruments (this document)

This Facilitator’s Guide provides comprehensive background information on the integrity management approach and explains how to use the toolbox. It contains detailed guidance for facilitators and trainers on how to conduct an integrity management workshop, as well as how to initiate the whole integrity change process in a WsP.

This paper describes an indigenous water treatment method using Moringa oleifera seeds in the form of a water-soluble extract in suspension, resulting in an effective natural clarification agent for highly turbid and untreated pathogenic surface water.

This paper outlines the processes of anaerobic digestion, reviews the current technology available for the anaerobic digestion of municipal organic wastes and proposes the adoption of the technology in the United States, beginning with commercial waste in New York City. The greatest concerns for New York are space and transportation, indicating that the most appropriate system is one using solid waste near the site of waste generation. A demonstration plant was constructed to show the improvement of local environmental conditions, job creation, and electricity generation in order to achieve support at policy level.
