Compendium of sanitation systems and technologies for the Wider Caribbean region

Abstract

This is the first Compendium for the Wider Caribbean Region. Largely based on the Eawag Compendium of Sanitation Systems and Technologies, it was adapted to the needs of the region through prior research, active stakeholder involvement and contextualization of the technical and social aspects. The Compendium is a guidance document for engineers and planners in the Wider Caribbean Region and beyond. By ordering and structuring tried and tested technologies into one concise document, the reader is provided with a useful planning tool for making more informed decisions. The focus of this Compendium is on the range of urban and peri-urban technologies that can be provided and managed as a utility service.
