Introduction to the Compendium of Sanitation Systems and

Introduction to the Compendium of Sanitation Systems and Technologies

Rationale § CLUES planning process is based on informed-decision making § Informed decision-making is only possible if information is well-ordered and structured § Abundant information exists about sanitation technologies, but it is not easily accessible and understandable by relevant stakeholders. § The „Compendium“ pulls together all relevant information on sanitation systems and technologies, enabling informed decision-making in sanitation planning. § It emphasizes the importance of a systems approach to sanitation planning (rather than a technology focus)

Goal of the Compendium § Expose the user to a broad range of sanitation systems and technologies § understand work with the system concept § Compile and compare different technologies Show possibilities apart from sewers 3 Sa nde

Parts of the Compendium § Inputs/Products § Functional Groups § System Templates § Technology Information Sheets

Target users of the Compendium Engineers, planners and other professionals … § who are familiar with sanitation technologies and processes; § with well-developed awareness of the context and priorities of the community and other stakeholders; § with interest in learning more about alternative or novel technologies which may not be yet applied in the local context. Non-experts“ interested in sanitation systems and technologies, their advantages and disadvantages Meant to be used as part of a Participatory Planning Approach (Step 5 of CLUES) 5

Structure of the Compendium Part 1: Sanitation System Templates 6 Part 2: Technology Information Sheets

Products • Refer: page 11 • Products include: Human wastes, products for transport, additional products (toilet paper, green organic waste), output products (feacal sludge, biogas) • 19 different Products defined • System choice will depend on the Products that are generated/ required /desired 7

Functional Groups • Refer: page 13 • Functional Groups are groupings of technologies which perform the same function • 5 different Functional Groups defined • Every technology belongs to a Functional Group (colour-coded) 8

System Templates • Refer: page 16 -32 • System Templates show logical combinations of Technologies which can be linked to form a system • 8 different System Templates defined: from which 100 s of Systems can be built • Templates are built using Products and Technologies from Functional Groups 9
