Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 2.6 billion people in the developing world lack access to safe water and sanitation service. The Millennium Development Goal’s (MDG) target is to halve the number of people without access to a sustainable source of water supply and connection to a sewer network by 2015. That target is unlikely to be met. If there is anything that can be learnt from European experience it is that institutional reform occurs incrementally when politically enfranchised urban populations perceive a threat to their material well-being due to contamination of water sources.

This book was released on 2014-01-03 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the work of the WASHCost project run by the IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre (IRC), this book provides an evaluation of the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sectors in the context of developing countries and is the first systematic study of applying the life-cycle cost approach to assessing allocations. It presents unit cost estimates of the WASH sector across geographic locations and technologies, including rural and peri-urban areas, and these are compared with service levels. It analyses detailed data from more than 5000 households across nine agro-climatic zones in Andhra Pradesh State in India. Key issues assessed include poverty analysis of service levels, cost drivers and factors at the village and household level, and governance aspects such as transparency, accountability and value for money in relation to unit costs and service levels. This is the most comprehensive study of the WASH sector in India and elsewhere that utilises the life-cycle cost approach, along with GIS, econometric modelling and qualitative research methods. Not only does it contribute to research and methodology in this area, but the analysis also provides valuable insights for planners, policy makers and bi-lateral donors. The authors show how the methodology can also be applied in other developing country contexts.

Download or read book Analysis of Drinking Water Quality and Sanitation in a Peri-urban Area of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania written by Tulakemelwa Mhamilawa Ngasala and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Sustainable Development Goal 6 called for universal access to water and sanitation by 2030, the challenge of achieving this goal seems daunting in the context of the bourgeoning peri- urban communities of the developing world. These areas are often in a regulatory grey area, receiving municipal water on an irregular basis and lacking sanitation and other basic services. And yet, SDG 6 recognizes that improving global health and wellbeing is critically linked to addressing this problem. A multi-method study of the peri-urban area of Dar es Salaam was conducted to determine the extent of the problem and to make recommendations for system-wide approaches to alleviate the risk of waterborne disease. Existing water sources in the area were identified. Water collection and storage practices were assessed at the household level to determine how water from relatively clean sources becomes contaminated. Escherichia coli (E. coli), nitrate, and total dissolved solid (TDS) were analyzed as indicators for the sewage contamination. Bivariate correlation and univariate regression analyses were used to identify the sources of contamination. The assessment focused on the relationship and association of water contamination with site-specific variables. The variable that had the highest negative impact to the water source was analyzed by using a groundwater flow and contaminant transport model as a tool to make recommendations for proper site-specific sanitation practices. Of the three water sources identified (city water, vendors, and domestic wells), water quality analysis showed that city water at the point of collection (POC) was deemed excellent, whereas it diminished at the point of use (POU) for all three water sources. Reasons for change in water quality at POU and POC were due to mixing of water from different water sources at homes during storage. Using a multinomial regression model, the main reason for mixing water was determined to be the dilution of the salty taste of well water (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problems related to the process of industrialisation such as biodiversity depletion, climate change and a worsening of health and living conditions, especially but not only in developing countries, intensify. Therefore, there is an increasing need to search for integrated solutions to make development more sustainable. The United Nations has acknowledged the problem and approved the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. On 1st January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Agenda officially came into force. These goals cover the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection. The Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals comprehensively addresses the SDGs in an integrated way. It encompasses 17 volumes, each devoted to one of the 17 SDGs. This volume is dedicated to SDG 6 "Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all". Water and sanitation are fundamental to human well-being. Integrated water resources management is essential to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all and to the realization of Sustainable Development. Concretely, the defined targets are: Achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all Achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations Improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally Substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity Implement integrated water resources management at all levels, including through transboundary cooperation as appropriate Protect and restore water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes Expand international cooperation and capacity-building support to developing countries in water- and sanitation-related activities and programmes, including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse technologies Support and strengthen the participation of local communities in improving Uwater and sanitation management Editorial Board Ulisses M.

This book was released on 2011-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water is a precious resource and vital for life, without it life could not be sustained. Access to safe and affordable supply of drinking water is universally recognized as a basic human need for the present generation and a pre-condition for the development and care of the next. Water is also a fundamental economic resource on which people s livelihood depends. Despite the importance of water and sanitation to mankind, it is but sad to note that about 2.4 billion people globally live under highly unsanitary condition with lack of adequate water supply.Even where available, it is unfit for domestic consumption thus running the risk of incidence and the spread of infectious diseases. Studies by the World Health Organization (WHO) have shown that 2.2 million people die of basic hygiene related diseases, like diarrhea every year.The greater majority are children in developing countries. It is very certain that the health of every community depends highly on clean and safe water supply, which is used for domestic purposes coupled with the general sanitary and hygienic conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is an output of the Sida, DANIDA and DFID funded project entitled: Improving urban water and sanitation provision globally, through information and action driven locally. This project was carried out by IIED and five of its partners in Angola, Argentina, Ghana, India and Pakistan. The project aims to document innovative and inspiring examples of locally-driven water and sanitation initiatives in deprived urban areas. The project provides a basis for better understanding of how to identify and build upon local initiatives that are likely to improve water and sanitation services. The project also looks at how local organisations in those countries have managed to: scale up successful projects; work collaboratively; finance water and sanitation schemes; and use information systems such as mapping to drive local action and monitor improvements.

Download or read book The Peri-Urban Interface written by Duncan McGregor and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2012-04-27 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peri-urban interfaces - the zones where urban and rural areas meet - suffer from the greatest problems to humans caused by rapid urbanization, including intense pressures on resources, slum formation, lack of adequate services such as water and sanitation, poor planning and degradation of farmland. These areas, home to hundreds of millions of people, face unique problems and need distinctive and innovative approaches and solutions. This book, authored by top researchers and practitioners, covers the full breadth and depth of the impacts of rapid urbanization on livelihoods, poverty and resources in the peri-urban zones in diverse African, Asian, Latin American and Caribbean contexts. Topics include peri-urban resource sustainability, ecosystems and societies and environmental changes in peri-urban zones. Rich case studies cover production systems and livelihoods including the impacts of irrigated vegetable production, horticulture, dairy enterprises, waste-fed fisheries and pastoral livelihoods. Also addressed are planning and development issues in the peri-urban interface including the difficulty in achieving sustainability, conflict and cooperation over resources, and a fresh look at the relationship between people and their environment. The final part of the book presents policies and strategies for promoting and measuring sustainability in peri-urban zones including community-based waste management, the co-management of watersheds and empowerment of the poor. This book is the most comprehensive examination of the challenges and solutions facing the people and environments of peri-urban zones and is essential reading for all practitioners, students and academics in geography and development.
