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.
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.
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.
This report synthesizes research findings on multi-stakeholder platforms and mutual accountability across five countries that received catalytic funds from Sanitation and Water for All (SWA) in 2022. The five countries were Indonesia, Kenya, Nepal, Niger and Paraguay. This synthesis report identifies common enabling factors that support effective multi-stakeholder collaboration, and common challenges that often inhibit this collaboration.
This paper presents three case studies from the USAID Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Finance (WASHFIN) Program, which illustrate different approaches to leveraging commercial finance in the water supply and sanitation (WSS) sector. The Program implemented activities in ten countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America since 2016 and helped raise over US$118.8 million from a mix of public and private financing sources.
To increase awareness and understanding of self-supply of water in Asia and the Pacific, the UTS Institute for Sustainable Futures has partnered with UNICEF EAPRO and UNICEF ROSA to develop 21 country profiles. The following country profiles present the prevalence of self-supply, spatial and temporal trends, service levels including water quality and availability, equity dimensions, and policy aspects of
self-supply in each country.
