Low Cost Urban Sanitation

By Duncan Mara

In order to meet the challenges of the International Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Decade (1981-1990), and now Safe Water 2000, developing countries, together with international agencies and donor countries need to invest in their water supply and sanitation sector - this book is a contribution to that development. It is an introduction to low cost sanitation and how to install cheap, safe and effective sanitation systems. It covers the topic concisely and informatively, with illustrations and worked examples where appropriate. The author approaches the subject from the point of view of an engineer embarking on the design of a low cost sanitation project, and deals with both the technical aspects of planning and design and the background factors which need to be taken into consideration.
