The main objective of this policy brief is to review Indonesia’s experience in managing urban wastewater in the context of low sewer coverage, with a special focus on communitybased sanitation programmes, namely SANIMAS.
This policy brief investigates on a number of challenges, prospects as well as enabling environment and strategies to support for policymakers, local governments, water professionals and relevant stakeholders in Asia, especially member countries in the Water Environment Partnership in Asia (WEPA) network, in searching for efficient and reliable wastewater treatment systems, appropriate management models under their local context, and pursuing their longterm goal of community-wide sanitation improvements.
This Policy Brief has been developed with the aim of: (i) investigating the existing situation and challenges on faecal sludge management in WEPA countries; (ii) identifying enabling factors for introducing and implementing appropriate business models for sustainable faecal sludge management, through selected case studies in WEPA countries; and (iii) initiating discussions on how lessons learned from Japan’s experiences in using Johkasou systems for human waste and faecal sludge management can be introduced to improve the situation in WEPA partner countries.
AGWA, together with Wetlands International, has published the report with three goals in mind: 1) to illustrate the scientific rationale behind the use of wetlands as a climate mitigation tool; 2) to demonstrate the prevalence and function of wetlands across landscapes and geographies; and 3) to provide a set of clear policy recommendations that will enable Parties to the UNFCCC to conserve, restore and wisely use wetlands by incorporating them into their climate mitigation plans.
Released during UNFCCC COP27 and just ahead of COP 15.2 to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in late 2022, the report presents case study examples, rationale, and recommendations for maximizing synergies between national climate and biodiversity agendas to tackle the triple planetary crisis.
EasyCalc helps water utilities and consultants properly apply the IWA Water Loss Specialist Group Methodology. During the last 10 years it has become the preferred NRW analysis tool for water utilities around the world.
The report outlines PUB’s vision and provides examples of some of its digital initiatives. Here, digital becomes an integral vector in an integrated water management approach.
Under the Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters (ABC Waters) Programme, an initiative by PUB, Singapore’s National Water Agency, the country has embarked on a journey to a City of Gardens and Water. Since its inception in 2006, the ABC Waters Programme has led the way to transform how Singapore manages surface water. From functional drains to well designed waterways that serve multiple purposes, from traditional stormwater management to sustainable stormwater management that detains and treats runoff at source.
The guidance is intended for use by drinking-water suppliers and regulators who are familiar with the WHO’s Guidelines for drinking-water quality and, in particular, the framework for safe drinking-water, including water safety plans. This publication may also be useful to others with an interest in potable reuse including environmental health and water resource professionals.
Some of PUB's R&D projects are conducted in-house while others are test-bedding projects held in our facilities for performance check. PUB has collaborated on an array of projects in Intelligent Watershed Management, Water Treatment, Wastewater Treatment, Water Quality and Security, Network Management and Membrane Technology.
