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.
In this report, the authors analyse what is happening to television news. They map recent changes in traditional television viewing, the rise of online video, and a range of examples of how different organisations are working with new forms of television-like news developed for a digital environment.

This paper shows, how ‘dry fermentation’ (in opposition to ‘wet fermentation’ of agricultural and communal bio-waste as well as sewage sludge) can produce methane from solid biomass in a mixture of night soil collected from dry toilet systems. The one-staged batch process needs no mixing of biomass during fermentation and no adding of water or liquid compounds, as it is necessary in conventional wet fermentation systems. This system is particularly suitable for application in semiarid climates, as the water consumption in the process is very low compared to conventional anaerobic digestion systems and can be recovered from the ecological sanitation system.

Three different multistage constructed wetland plants for wineries wastewater treatment, located in central Italy, have been monitored and designed by the IRIDRA Ltd engineering firm. This paper presents the principal design specifications, a description of the plant operations and the analyses of influent and effluent characteristics (pH, COD, BOD5, TN, TP, TSS).
