This document presents results of a systematic feasibility analysis for various reuse options of treated wastewater assessed in the context of the Innovative Sanitation Solutions in Arid Regions (ISSRAR) project. The ISSRAR project promotes the safe reuse of treated wastewater to turn waste streams into physical and financial resource streams thereby contributing towards a circular sanitation value chain and the development of integrated business models for resource recovery and safe reuse (RR&R) solutions.

The official website of the Sustainable Sanitation Alliance SuSanA. SuSanA is a loose network of a number of organizations active in the field of sanitation, founded in 2007. The goals and objectives of SuSanA are to contribute to the achievement of the MDGs, to raise awareness on what sustainable sanitation solutions are and to promote them on a larger scale. The website contains a number of factsheets by the different SuSanA working groups on various subjects related to sustainable sanitation. There is section where everyone can upload important documents.

Rather old design manual for onsite wastewater treatment options. However, valuable information on established systems such as septic tanks, sand filters, aerobic treatment units (suspended growth and fixed film), disinfection, nutrient removal as well as wastewater segregation and recycling are given. Additional information is given on disposal methods and appurtenances.

This poster presents a sanitary block in Ghana. The wastewater and nutrient concept for the sanitary block includes the separation of the different flow streams, such as pure urine, urine-water mixture, blackwater and greywater, in order to optimise the system design and to collect the urine and urine-water mixture as a fertiliser. Blackwater is treated in a fixed-dome biogas settler.
