Описание: "Well-run water utilities play an important role in ending poverty and boosting shared prosperity. Consumers need reliable access to high quality and affordable water and sanitation services. To deliver these basic services efficiently and effectively requires high-performing utilities that are able to respond to urban growth, to connect with the poor, and to improve wastewater disposal practices. The International Benchmarking Network for Water and Sanitation Utilities of the World Bank's Water and Sanitation Program (IBNET) has been involved in water sector monitoring since 1997. IBNET works to improve utility performance through enhanced sharing of critical knowledge and expertise, to expand access to comparative data among utilities globally, and to promote best practice among water supply and sanitation providers. By delivering access to technical and financial information on utility performance, IBNET enables key stakeholders to do their jobs better: utility managers and employees can identify areas for improvement; governments can monitor and adjust sector policies and programs; regulators can ensure that customers get value; investors can identify viable markets and opportunities for creating value; and customer groups and NGOs can exercise 'voice' in an informed way. The IBNET Water Supply and Sanitation Blue Book 2014 summarizes the water sector status from 2006 to 2011. Since 2006, municipal water performance has improved despite accelerated urbanization and the impacts of triple crises (food, fuel, and financial). Overall coverage has increased and piped water and wastewater services became accessible to more people. An increasing number of utilities now actively handle the water billing, collection, and water management through metering. IBNET tools, such as data collection instruments and protocols, the IBNET database, and the IBNET tariff database, enable enhanced sharing of information on close to 4,500 utilities from more than 130 countries and territories."

Описание: Water scarcity and sanitation are two major challenges that are affecting over 40% of the global population. More than 80% of the waste water resulting from human activities is dumped in rivers or the sea without any kind of water treatment.
To respond to this crucial need, appropriate technologies of water treatment and supply are discussed in this book. A unique feature of this book is the way in which chapters interact. Cross-references between theory and application foster overall integration of subject matter. This volume will assist process engineers, water treatment plant operators and managers, environmental consultants, water treatment plant operators, U.G. and P.G. students of civil, environmental and chemical engineering.
Recommendations of various Indian Standards pertaining to the subject including Water Manual by Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering under Ministry of Urban Development has been incorporated and followed. All the chapters are organised with definitions, design principles and theories.

Описание: This publication provides essential information on the planning, implementation, and management of improved water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in schools, particularly for small and isolated rural settlements in Mongolia.Many schools in Mongolia face significant challenges in improving WASH due to physical and demographic conditions. The country’s harsh winters require sustainable WASH facilities that can withstand extended periods of below-freezing temperatures. Information about WASH standards and norms, design and technology options, operation and maintenance, hygiene education approaches, and cost estimation outlined in this publication are useful for national and local administrators, engineers, field practitioners, and policy makers.

'This excellent book makes a major contribution to the literature on regulation in a pro-poor direction for urban water supply. It is extremely relevant for policy-makers striving to achieve the Millennium Development Goal for halving the share of world's population without access to clean and affordable water.' Andrew Nickson, University of Birmingham, UK
The aim of this book is to present the potential benefits as well as the challenges of introducing a more formal economic regulatory process into the urban water sector arena in lower-income countries. There is a particular focus upon the impact this may have on the poorest, the informal, slum and shanty dwellers of the rapidly growing cities. Economic regulation, usually introduced in the context of private operation of monopoly water supply, can deliver objectivity and transparency in the price-setting process for public as well as private providers.
The book describes and analyses these issues through a consideration of ten country case studies. As a starting point, the current situation for the provision of water and sanitation services for the poorest through non-regulated public providers in India and Uganda is reviewed. Comparative chapters are then presented on Ghana, Philippines, Bolivia, Jordan, Zambia and Indonesia, all with varying degrees of private sector involvement and regulation. Finally the experiences of two richer countries are considered - Chile and England, countries with the longest experience of economic regulation and the 'most privatized' suppliers. In all cases there is a focus on the very necessary role of customer involvement in price-setting and service monitoring and on the role of alternative (private) service providers.
