Estimados participantes hispanohablantes de este Foro, (Scroll down for English)

Me complace avisarles que la versión corregida del libro de Manejo de Lodos Fecales está disponible en está página web:
www.eawag.ch/en/department/sandec/public...management-fsm-book/

Se le puede bajar en alta o baja resolución, entero o capítulo por capítulo.

Sería conveniente que UNESCO-IHE suba esta versión corregida también. (Al menos, el nombre del gran archivo único sigue igual.) Asimismo, se podría considerar la posibilidad de subirlo a la Biblioteca de SuSanA.

¿Quisieran tener acceso al libro en otros formatos, además de PDF?

Por favor, avísennos si el libro les resulta útil y si tienen preguntas sobre su contenido.

Atentamente,
Chris Canaday
Traductor del libro

Dear Spanish-speaking members of this Forum,

It is a pleasure to announce that the corrected version of the Spanish translation of the Faecal Sludge Management book is available to be downloaded from this webpage:
www.eawag.ch/en/department/sandec/public...management-fsm-book/

It can be downloaded in high or low resolution, in one single file or chapter by chapter.

It would be convenient for UNESCO-IHE to also upload this corrected version. (At least, the name of this large single file has not changed.) Similarly, uploading it to the SuSanA Library may also be considered.

Would you like to have access to the book in other formats, in addition to PDF?

Please let us know if the book is useful to you and if you have any questions on its content.

Sincerely,
Chris Canaday
Translator of the book

Dear All,

The Spanish translation of the FSM book is now available online as a free PDF download:

Más de 1.000 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, el manejo 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.Editado.

Dear Linda and other FSM colleagues

other than this major publication on FSM, what other well received publications on FSM have come out in 2013 and 2014?

I am trying to put an quick overview together.

Kind regards
Trevor

Dear F H Mugal,

I am happy to hear that you have successfully downloaded the book! We are currently researching options to make the file lower resolution, but still high enough quality. Also, each individual chapter can be downloaded as a separate file.

Unfortunately IWA is not able to make the hardcover book available for free.

Best regards and good reading,
Linda

Dear Linda,

I have downloaded the book - 36 MB - took quite a while in downloading, due to slow internet speed here. I haven't yet gone through it, but from the Table of Contents, I find that it is a very useful book.

Just 2 minor queries: One, have you discussed the policy options? I may add here that, in most cases in the rural areas (here in Pakistan) fecal sludge become a part and parcel of solid waste management. So, policy options would be in order.

Second: Could you kindly request IWA to make hard copies free to users in developing countries?

Thank you for producing such a valuable book.

Kind regards,

F H Mughal

Dear All,

The first book dedicated entirely to faecal sludge management (FSM) in low- and middle-income countries is now available. The book is published by IWA, co-edited by Sandec/Eawag and UNESCO-IHE, and co-funded by the Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF).

The book is available FREE OF CHARGE as a PDF DOWNLOAD on the Sandec/Eawag and UNESCO-IHE websites:
www.sandec.ch
www.sandec.ch/fsm_book
www.unesco-ihe.org

It is also available for purchase as a hardcover textbook from IWA, and soon as a free e-book download:
www.iwapublishing.com/template.cfm?name=isbn9781780404721

Cover text:
Over a billion people in urban and peri-urban areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America are served by onsite sanitation technologies. Until now, the management of faecal sludge resulting from these onsite technologies has been grossly neglected. Financial resources are often lacking, and onsite sanitation systems tend to be regarded as temporary solutions until sewer-based systems can be implemented. However, the reality is that onsite sanitation is here to stay, either as an intermediate or permanent standalone solution, or in combination with sewer-based systems. The appropriate and adequate management of faecal sludge deriving from onsite technologies is imperative for the protection of human and environmental health.

This is the first book dedicated to faecal sludge management. It compiles the current state of knowledge of this rapidly evolving field, and presents an integrated approach that includes technology, management and planning. It addresses the planning and organization of the entire faecal sludge management service chain, from the collection and transport of sludge and treatment options, to the final en d use or disposal of treated sludge. In addition to providing fundamentals and an overview of technologies, the book goes into details of operational, institutional and financial aspects, and provides guidance on how to plan a city-level faecal sludge management project with the involvement of all the stakeholders.

Best regards, and hope you enjoy!

Linda Strande
