Abstract

Spildevandshåndtering i udviklingslande i hele verden er i en tilstand af krise. Det anslås, at 2,6 milliarder mennesker verden over lever uden ordentlige sanitære forhold. Ressourcerne er knappe, tidligere ledelse har svigtet, og de traditionelle teknikker og løsninger er for dyre eller simpelthen ineffektive. Bogen beskriver de komplekse politiske, økonomiske og kulturelle årsager til, at så mange udviklingslande ikke er i stand til at servicere deres borgere med en bæredygtig og effektiv behandling af deres spildevand.

Forfatterne trækker på deres erfaringer fra Malaysia, Thailand og andre lande til at inspirere til innovation og forbedring af spildevandsrensning og forvaltning. De beskriver hvorfor traditionel planlægning, design og implementering af renseløsninger ikke fungerer i udviklingslande, og skildrer alternative lokale løsninger, som vil give en effektiv og bæredygtig løsning på de sanitære problemer. Disse løsninger omfatter genbrug af renset spildevand, energibesparelser, og krav til økonomisk og organisatorisk struktur.

Bogen opfordrer beslutningstagere, praktikere og forskere til en ny og mere holistisk tilgangsvinkel til spildevandsproblematikken med henblik på at vælge løsninger i udviklingslandene som er hensigtsmæssige, innovative, og vigtigst af alt, bæredygtige.

Resources are scarce, previous management systems have failed, and traditional techniques and solutions are not immediate enough, too expensive, or simply inefficient. This book investigates the complex political, economic, and cultural reasons that so many developing nations lack the ability to provide proper and effective wastewater treatment for their citizens. The authors draw upon their experiences in Malaysia, Thailand, and other countries to inspire innovation and improvement in wastewater treatment and management. They examine the failures of traditional planning, design, and implementation, and offer localized solutions that will yield effective sustainable management systems.
