Decentralised wastewater treatment in developing countries - A handbook by BORDA
Posted on 05 Jun, 2009 12:36 PMThis handbook published by Bremen Overseas Research and Development Association (BORDA) is an outcome of a project titled “Low Maintenance Wastewater Treatment Systems - LOMWATS; Development of Technologies and Dissemination Strategies.” The project had been financed by the Commission of the European Union, with substantial contribution by the State Office for Development Co-operation of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen from October 1994 until April 1998.
This book aims at a target group, which is typical for decentralised technology implementation and consists of people who are aware of the general problem and know something about possible solutions. However, their knowledge is too general on one hand, or too specialised on the other to master very typical problems which go together with decentralisation.
