Your Opinion

Centralised sanitation is not possible for low-income urban areas, as space is limited and investment costs are extremely high. There are decentralised options available (as well for other than low-income areas of towns and cities), see the website of BORDA given in this lesson. They propagate the concept of DEWATS = Decentralised Wastewater Treatment Systems.

  • Think about a low-income area of your town/city: What would be a sustainable sanitation alternative to centralised sanitation?
