Re: How to Design Wastewater Systems for Local Conditions in Developing Countries

Dear Steve,

I have not seen a summary of the eCompendium (apart from maybe this front page information? ecompendium.sswm.info/). Sorry, can't help you there.

About the conference that you mentioned, I also don't know who from the SuSanA community is attending. I like the idea of getting feedback from conferences and regularly ask about that, too (like here for the WEDC conference in Hanoi:
forum.susana.org/forum/categories/21-eve...-2014-feedback#10312) but my request for feedback from those who attended is rarely fulfilled. Myself, when I attend an important conference, I usually like to give some feedback here on the forum. :)

Regards,
Elisabeth

Re: How to Design Wastewater Systems for Local Conditions in Developing Countries

Hi Christoph

Thank you for directing me to Abstracts in the IWA publishing. I was not aware of such useful information. Their term Abstract is misleading as after perusing, I found that these e-books are in volumes. I will find out if I could get executive summaries of the ‘Abstracts’ from IWA publishing.

Interestingly, the Caledonian College of Engineering in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman is hosting 12th IWA Specialist Conference on Small Water and Wastewater Systems & 4th IWA Specialist Conference on Resource Oriented Sanitation between 2-4 November 2014.

I wonder if anyone in the SuSanA forum is attending. If so, could we get a feedback on the conference? (The question is directed to the moderators).

Cheers

Dear Manwiki,

www.iwawaterwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Arti...ishingFreetoDownload
Basic principles, aerobic - anaerobic treatment, technical an natural treatment, sludge treatment,

including more general sector information for instance about africa: Sanitation and Hygiene in Africa: Where do We Stand?

All these have short abstracts - might be interesting for your journal.
