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.
A field study to evaluate the use and performance of Biosand filters at the Artibonite Valley of Haiti. They found it as an attractive option for supplying safe water in rural areas of poorly developed countries with producing water in safe range in 97% of the cases

After an earthquake that struck the region of Arequipa, the existing water distribution network was destroyed. The communities and the Peruvian Red Cross prepared a project for safe water. Core elements of the project were the teaching and practise of the SODIS method, improved hygiene and health, and organizational strengthening of the communities. At the end of the project, 75% of the beneficiary population was using SODIS for water disinfection.

Urban on-site sanitation services present challenges for emptying, transporting, disposing and treating faecal waste. Transfer stations can be used by household-level emptiers to safely dispose of faecal sludge, but they rarely exist. Accra's use of transfer stations has provided an opportunity to research their functioning, as part of broader faecal sludge management arrangements. The paper discusses the benefits offered by use of transfer stations, as well as reasons currently limiting their operation. The paper concludes that correct use of transfer stations can provide improvements for existing faecal sludge management and reduce indiscriminate dumping.

A chapter about the impacts of climate change on human health. There is evidence that the climate change altered the distribution of some infectious disease vectors. The burden of diarrhoeal diseases will increase as well as the number of people which suffer from dengue as just to cite some effects of the ongoing climate change.

Decentralised wastewater management presents a comprehensive approach to the design of both conventional and innovative systems for the treatment and disposal of wastewater or the reuse of treaded effluent. Smaller treatment plants, which are the concern of most new engineers, are the primary focus of this book.
