Résumé :
|
The IWA Conference on water and wastewater management for developing countries was the first conference specially organized for developing countries after the merger between the International Association on Water Quality (IAWQ) and the International Water Services Association (IWSA). Its aim was to promote the concept of appropriate technologies for water and wastewater management, and to enhance linkages between institutions, practitioners and research groups working on low-cost treatment and waste recycling systems, and promote collaborative R&D. The outcome was a highly successful and well attented conference, with more than 300 participants from 21 countries. From the large and high quality programme (there were over 130 oral presentations), 42 articles have been selected after peer review. They cover the three major subject areas of the conference: operation and management; water supply and treatment; and wastewater technology. These proceedings thus contain not only the important details on the outcomes of the conference, but also demonstate the significant advances being made in research and development on water and wastewater management in developing countries by researchers and practitioners, from developing and developed countries alike.
