    Addressing Fecal Sludge Management in Rural Locations | Cambodia | ideglobal.org | Page 1 TACTIC REPORT Addressing Fecal Sludge Management in Rural Locations Pit latrines have become the solution for rural sanitation in many of the world’s poorest, remote, and difficult to access locations. At some point in time, the pit fills. What can households in these areas do to safely manage their sanitation needs? Context As sanitation coverage increases across the globe, fecal sludge management (FSM) is becoming increasingly important as the next sanitation issue that needs to be addressed. Most FSM solutions are designed for urban environments and involve collection (by vacuum truck or manual emptying) and mass treatment (e.g., ponds, aerobic digesters). For rural communities and households in Cambodia, these solutions present both economic and logistical challenges. Households in some areas have been able to manage their pit emptying issues with the service of pump trucks that come directly to the household. However, these solutions are still relatively expensive, are sometimes unable to navigate rural roads, and many hand-made varieties of these trucks lack the ability to hygienically remove and transport waste. As motor-powered pumps are Addressing Fecal Sludge Management in Rural Locations | Cambodia | ideglobal.org | Page 2 becoming cheaper, households are increasingly opting to use these over manual emptying with buckets. Yet despite increasing availability of pumps and trucks, waste disposal is rarely handled safely. In rural areas, the cost of constructing and maintaining a safe, hygienic treatment collection plant is prohibitive. The economies of scale that enable mass waste treatment plants to operate sustainably in urban areas are simply not available in rural villages.

    Volume 10, May 2020 ISSN 2581-5504 “Manual Scavenging: Worst Surviving Symbol of Untouchability” Rohini Dahiya1 Department of Political Science, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Central University, Lucknow “For them I am a sweeper, sweeper- untouchable! Untouchable! Untouchable! That’s the word! Untouchable! I am an Untouchable – Mulk Raj Anand, Untouchable (1935) Mulk Raj Anand while writing his book more than 80 years ago criticised the rigidity of the caste system and its ancient taboo on contamination. Focalising the six thousand years of racial and class superiority and predicament of untouchability with a desire to carry the perpetual discrimination faced by people living in the periphery out in the larger world. The hope with which the author, who was a key founder of the All-India Progressive writer’s movement wrote this breakthrough 1935 novel, still largely remains a hope, as the practices of manually cleaning excrement from private and public dry toilets, open drains, gutters, sewers still persist. Haunting lives of millions in a nation, which since its independence in 1947 adopted legislative and policy efforts to end manual scavenging. The practice of cleaning, carrying and disposing of human excreta from public streets, dry latrines, sceptic tanks and sewers using hand tools such as bucket, groom and shovel, is what is described as manual scavenging by International Labour Organisation which is termed as one of the worst surviving symbols of untouchability. The work of dealing with human excrement manually might seem an anathema to most of the people around the world but it is the only source of livelihood to thousands living in India even today.

Representations, policies, contradictions and challenges for tomorrow's urban life” Urbino (Italy) 27-29 August 2015. http://www.rc21.org/en/conferences/urbino2015/ Introduction The cleaning—purifying—of cities involves two important activities related to disposal of waste i.e. solid and human waste. These tasks are important from the view point of sanitation and public health in the cities. If this tasks are not performed well then it would lead to chaos in terms of serious implication on health of the citizens. Often in the past there were epidemic due to unhygienic conditions. In cities it is quiet common that water and some air borne diseases are due to poor hygiene. The local bodies that are involved in providing proper sanitation in cities often fail due to lack of proper urban planning, inadequacy of services and lack of funds. Especially in Indian cities the ratio of population to persons involved in sanitation is very disproportionate. The lack of civic sense amongst citizens and their own perceptions of waste and management of waste complicate matter to worst. Therefore, the heavy onus of cleaning—purifying— cities so as to have proper hygiene conditions is on those who are involved in disposal of solid and human waste.

    NFPA 70®-2020 Edition National Electrical Code® TIA Log No.: 1598 Reference: 406.9(C), Exception No. 2(new) Comment Closing Date: August 23, 2021 Submitter: Kerry Stackpole, Plumbing Manufacturers International (PMI) www.nfpa.org/70 1. Add a new Exception No. 2 to Section 406.9(C) to read as follows: 406.9 Receptacles in Damp or Wet Locations. … (C) Bathtub and Shower Space. Receptacles shall not be installed within a zone measured 900 mm (3 ft) horizontally and 2.5 m (8 ft) vertically from the top of the bathtub rim or shower stall threshold. The identified zone is all-encompassing and shall include the space directly over the tub or shower stall. Exception No. 1: In bathrooms with less than the required zone the receptacle(s) shall be permitted to be installed opposite the bathtub rim or shower stall threshold on the farthest wall within the room. Exception No. 2: In a dwelling unit, a single receptacle shall be permitted for an electronic toilet or personal hygiene device such as an electronic bidet seat. The receptacle shall be readily accessible and located on one of the following: (1) The wall behind the toilet but not behind the tank (2) The opposite side of the toilet from the bathtub or shower Substantiation: It is quite common for a toilet to be located next to a bathtub or shower in a residential bathroom. The existing text in NFPA 70 could prevent the installation of a receptacle that is necessary for the operation of an electronic toilet (also known as a “smart toilet”) or personal hygiene device (e.g., electronic bidet seat) where a toilet is located within 3 feet horizontally of a bathtub or shower.

  • Thesis Strzelecka.Pdf (7.251Mb)
    School of Engineering and Sustainable Development One Utility for Sustainable Communities Modelling and Optimisation of Utility–Service Provision Anna Strzelecka Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November, 2017 Abstract Utility–service provision is a process in which products such as water, electricity, food, gas are transformed by appropriate devices into services satisfying human needs such as nutrition, thermal comfort, and wants such as e.g. entertainment. Utility products required for these processes are usually delivered to households via separate infrastructures, i.e. real-world networks such as electricity grids, wa- ter distribution systems or gas distribution networks. Additionally, they can be supplemented sourced locally from natural resources, e.g. electricity can be ob- tained from sun or wind. The main objectives of the research are to numerically evaluate feasibility of alternative approaches to utility–service provision prob- lems and automatically generate suggestions of such alternative approaches, using knowledge base of present and future technologies and devices. These objectives are achieved via a simulation system implemented in C# and .NET 4.0 that is composed of the following blocks: an interface to define the utility–service provision problem (problem formulation), an interface to define candidate solu- tions (transformation graphs), a computational engine to analyse the feasibility of transformation graphs, a heuristic search algorithm to generate transformation graphs and a XML database. The core of the proposed approach is a simulation system that carries out a feasibility study of transformation graphs. A transformation graph describes direct and indirect transformations of products into defined services or other products using various devices.
