This study focuses on sludge treatment as well as end-use potential to prevent pollution, protect public health, and ensure a circular economy. Researchers explore the potential of Co-composting as a low-cost, green technology for fecal sludge management.

This research provides insights into the environmental compatibility and optimal ratio of a fecal sludge-liming sludge mixture for composting, comparing the properties of the final compost with those of industrial-grade fertilizers.

The CWIS Action Plan (CAP) uses the ABCD-IME approach, focusing on awareness, planning, and implementation while ensuring responsibility, accountability, and resource management for effective sanitation services.

Sewage sludge, with its high water content, consists of settled sewage solids. The solid content of most sewage sludges typically ranges from 1.2 to 4.5 percent. Dewatering sewage sludges is essential to reduce volume for easier handling, subsequent treatment, and safe disposal. Notably, the cost of sludge treatment and disposal accounts for nearly half of sewage treatment costs. In the past, cities used to load sludge on barges and dispose of it in the high seas, but strict maritime laws now prohibit such discharge. As a result, proper sludge treatment and safe disposal have become crucial for achieving sustainable development goals in sanitation.

ITN-BUET undertook this research to evaluate the post-installation performance of household RWH systems in the southwestern coastal region of Bangladesh. The objective is to pinpoint essential factors governing the long-term effectiveness of the system.

This case book is a compilation of stories to inspire other city authorities to promote FSM in their cities.
