Module B: Resources oriented Sanitation / Ecological Sanitation
LESSON B1: RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SANITATIONIn this lesson, some applications worldwide are presented. Also treatment methods for other domestic wastewater that originates from kitchen, shower, wash basin and laundry are discussed. LESSON B2: RAINWATER HARVESTINGThis lesson covers some of the basic principles which are essential for the design of rainwater facilities. Then, rainwater infiltration techniques and their design are illustrated. The third part of this lesson introduces the concept and techniques of rainwater harvesting, which aims at storing stormwater runoff for the use in agriculture or domestic purposes. LESSON B3: ANAEROBIC SEWAGE TREATMENTThis lesson covers some of the fundamental principles of the anaerobic processes including the application of the Upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor in tropical and low and moderate temperature. The key issues and approaches of UASB reactor design including guidelines for the design of the physical components of the reactor are discussed, in addition to a design example. LESSON B4: CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENTThis lesson discusses the capabilities and limits between these constructed wetland systems and the management requirements to achieve the designed purpose. Design and proper operation are explained for some applications. Some future trends with focus on maximization of efficiency, cost minimisation, ecological sanitation and water reuse are presented as well. LESSON B5: SEWAGE SLUDGE TREATMENTIn this lesson source and characteristics of Sewage sludge as well as methods of its treatment are discussed briefly. Natural treatment systems are focused. Also different options for sludge disposal are compared. Glossary
