Surface Water Treatment for Communities in Developing Countries
Surface Water Treatment for Communities in Developing Countries by Christopher R. Schulz, published by Intermediate Technology Publications in 1984, is a comprehensive resource aimed at planners and engineers involved in designing water treatment systems for small or isolated communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. This New Ed edition spans 299 pages and is presented in English. The book addresses the inadequacies of conventional water system designs used in industrialized nations, highlighting the need for more suitable, easily operable, and maintainable practices tailored to the unique challenges faced by developing countries.
Readers will find a detailed exploration of various technologies that can be employed in these regions, emphasizing solutions that do not rely on capital-intensive machinery or highly skilled technicians. The text presents a range of practices that are practical and accessible, aiming to fill the knowledge gap for those looking to implement effective water supply systems. Covering topics related to natural resources and environmental considerations, this book serves as a vital guide for those committed to improving water treatment in developing and emerging countries.
Official synopsis Publisher
Conventional methods for designing water systems in industrialized countries are not appropriate in developing countries. Despite this, the use of sophisticated technologies worldwide is widespread, although in many cases it is inappropriate. There is a lack of information for those wishing to learn and apply many of the practices which are suitable for the developing world, and which can be easily operated and maintained; this book is designed to fill that gap. Now available again in print, this book is addressed to planners and engineers responsible for the design of water treatment plants to be built in Africa, Asia and Latin America. In particular, it is intended for small or isolated communities which may need to employ technologies which do not depend on capital-intensive mechanization and instrumentation. Many of the technologies identified in this text minimize the need for support technologies and highly skilled technicians, and some are experimental.
