Aim of the Course

The objective of the course is to gain an understanding of all of the required aspects for the design and operation of a comprehensive faecal sludge management system. 

Course Learning Objectives

Upon completion, the participant will be able to:

Have an understanding of the treatment, management, and planning aspects related to FSM, and how they interact

Comprehend the importance of proper sludge characterisation for optimal collection and transport, treatment and reuse

Apply engineering fundamentals to design systems for management and treatment of faecal sludge

Learn about state of the art advocacy tools like Shit Flow Diagram

Place FSM in an urban sanitation context for sustainable and feasible planning of FSM systems


Course

This is the Second e-learning course dedicated to faecal sludge management. It compiles the current state of knowledge of this rapidly evolving field and presents an integrated approach that includes technology, management and planning. It addresses the planning and organization of the entire faecal sludge management service chain, from the collection and transport of sludge and its treatment options, to the final end use or disposal of treated sludge.
