Manual and supporting information by the UN environmental programme, providing information for designers, builders and operators on artificially constructed wetlands and waste stabilization ponds. The supporting information includes a standard systems approach which can be adopted universally; the theoretical background on the biological, chemical and physical processes of each method, the current state of the technology and technical knowledge on how to design, operate and maintain them; and theoretical knowledge on how best the models may be used to describe the systems.

This PDF presentation gives information on various aspects of wastewater management. It explains various current technologies in wastewater disposal as well as pre-treating of wastewater and sanitation. Above all the differences between centralized and decentralized wastewater management are explained and the problems of engineering highlighted.

The Train-Sea-Coast GPA is an active inter-agency collaboration between the UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education, the EU ACP Water Facility, the UN DOALOS, UNDP, GEF and UNEP/GPA. It aims to train experts and local, regional and international instructors in coastal populations. The compendium of technologies offers a description of several technologies for wastewater treatment suitable for typical physical conditions in Small Islands Developing States (SIDS) and low income coastal countries.

This Master Thesis describes the implementation of a soak pit and a wash area in a rural area next to the city Sikasso in West Africa. This detailed report describes how to built and how to dimension a soak pit and covers also social, technical and economic aspects.
