| Summary: | "This book is a Spanish translation of Faecal Sludge Management: Systems Approach for Implementation and Operation It is estimated that literally billions of residents in urban and peri-urban areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America are served by onsite sanitation systems (e.g. various types of latrines and septic tanks). Until recently, the management of faecal sludge from these onsite systems has been grossly neglected, partially as a result of them being considered temporary solutions until sewer-based systems could be implemented. However, the perception of onsite or decentralized sanitation technologies for urban areas is gradually changing, and is increasingly being considered as long-term, sustainable options in urban areas, especially in low- and middle-income countries that lack sewer infrastructures. This is the first book dedicated to faecal sludge management. It compiles the current state of knowledge of the rapidly evolving field of faecal sludge management, and presents an integrated approach that includes technology, management, and planning based on Sandecs 20 years of experience in the field. Faecal Sludge Management: Systems Approach for Implementation and Operation addresses the organization of the entire faecal sludge management service chain, from the collection and transport of sludge, and the current state of knowledge of treatment options, to the final end use or disposal of treated sludge. The book also presents important factors to consider when evaluating and upscaling new treatment technology options. The book is designed for undergraduate and graduate students, and engineers and practitioners in the field who have some basic knowledge of environmental and/or wastewater engineering." "Más de mil millones de personas en las áreas urbanas y peri-urbanas de África, Asia y América utilizan tecnologías descentralizadas de saneamiento. Hasta ahora se ha descuidado tremendamente el manejo de los lodos fecales producidos por estas tecnologías. Los recursos financieros son frecuentemente insuficientes y estos sistemas descentralizados suelen ser vistos como soluciones temporales, hasta poder implementar sistemas con alcantarillado. Sin embargo, la verdad es que el saneamiento descentralizado está aquí para quedarse, sea como soluciones independientes (temporales o permanentes) o en combinación con sistemas basados en el alcantarillado. El manejo adecuado y apropiado de los lodos fecales es primordial para la protección de la salud humana y ambiental. Este es el primer libro dedicado netamente al manejo de lodos fecales. Compila el estado actual de conocimiento en este campo que está evolucionando rápidamente y presenta un enfoque integrado que incluye la tecnología, la gestión y la planificación. Aborda la planificación y organización de toda la cadena de servicios de manejo de lodos fecales, desde su recolección y transporte hasta su tratamiento y uso o disposición final. Además de resumir los fundamentos y tecnologías, el libro también expone los detalles de los aspectos operativos, institucionales y financieros y las pautas para planificar un proyecto para el manejo de lodos fecales con la participación de todos los actores." |
