“The aim of the Handbook is to improve the quality of humanitarian response in situations of disaster and conflict, and to enhance the accountability of the humanitarian system to disaster-affected people”
The document summarizes the Sphere Project, which establishes minimum standards for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) in humanitarian responses. It provides an overview of the Sphere Handbook, including its core beliefs of the right to assistance and alleviating human suffering. The minimum standards cover WASH, food, shelter and health. Each WASH standard addresses key areas like hygiene promotion, water supply, excreta disposal, and provides minimum requirements, key actions, indicators and guidance notes.
The Sphere standards were created in 1997 to improve disaster response quality and accountability. They establish minimum standards in four sectors: water/sanitation/hygiene, food/nutrition, shelter/settlements, and health. The health standards aim to prevent excess mortality and morbidity by maintaining crude and under-5 mortality rates below double pre-disaster levels through essential health services. Preparedness is key and includes contingency planning, stockpiling, emergency services, training, and community planning to ensure health facilities remain functional during disasters.
In Nigeria, every year an estimated 124,000 children under the age of 5 die because of diarrhea, mainly due to unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene. Lack of adequate water and sanitation are also major causes of other diseases, including respiratory infection and under-nutrition

Presentation by Gezahegn Lemecha from IRC WASH on the concept of Climate Resilient WASH. This presentation was given during the Climate Resilient WASH learning workshop in Adama, Ethiopia, on 23 September 2021.
Water: Patterns of Production and ConsumptionAndy Dorn
Global freshwater consumption has risen sixfold since 1900, more than doubling the rate of population growth. Currently, about a third of the world's population lives in areas facing water stress, where consumption exceeds 10% of the total supply. If current trends continue, two-thirds of the global population will face water stress by 2025. The uneven distribution of water resources and increasing human population have exacerbated problems of freshwater availability and accessibility around the world. Many regions, particularly in Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia, already face water scarcity issues and this problem is projected to worsen in the coming decades without changes to water usage patterns. Freshwater resources in some areas have been severely impacted by human activities like
The document discusses various on-site and off-site sanitation technologies. It describes simple pit latrines, pour-flush latrines, ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrines, ecosan latrines, septic tanks, aqua-privies, and centralized and decentralized wastewater systems. The main technologies are compared in terms of their advantages and disadvantages related to costs, water requirements, operation and maintenance needs, and suitability for rural versus urban contexts.

Water, sanitation and diarrheal disease presentationWillie Mtwana
This document summarizes a study on water, sanitation, and diarrheal disease in Murii Village, Kenya. The study found that most residents had access to piped water and latrines. However, some still obtained water from unprotected sources. While few cases of diarrhea were reported, knowledge of causes was limited. The study concluded access to water and sanitation was generally good, and recommended further health education to promote alternative water treatment methods.
This document discusses different types of water filtration processes. It describes slow sand gravity filters and rapid sand gravity filters. It explains the filtration materials used like sand, gravel and anthracite. Sand used as a filter material should be hard, uniformly sized, free from impurities and resistant. Gravel and anthracite are also used. Filters are classified as gravity filters like slow sand and rapid sand filters, and pressure filters like horizontal and vertical pressure filters. Slow sand filters have low filtration rates but are suitable for rural areas. Rapid sand filters have higher filtration rates and require less space. Pressure filters operate under pressure within a closed cylinder.
The document summarizes key drivers of increasing global water demand and potential solutions to close the growing water gap. By 2050, world water demand is projected to increase by 60% due to factors like population growth, changing diets, increased food production and urbanization. Agriculture currently accounts for 70% of water withdrawals globally. Solutions discussed to help close the growing gap between supply and demand include increased wastewater reuse, further development of desalination technologies, improving irrigation efficiency, appropriate water pricing, integrated water governance and planning at the basin scale.
Estimating sewage discharge and peak drainage dischargeAnkit Gola
This document discusses methods for estimating sewage discharge and drainage/runoff. It explains that sewage is estimated based on water supplied plus additions from other sources and minus subtractions. Drainage is estimated using factors like rainfall intensity, duration, soil moisture, and catchment area. The Rational Method and empirical formulas like Dickens are presented to calculate peak runoff rates based on these factors and the imperviousness of surfaces. An example application of the Rational Method to a 36 hectare district with maximum 5 cm/hr rainfall is also provided.
This document discusses monitoring and implementation of SDG-6, which focuses on water and sanitation. It outlines the 6 targets of SDG-6 related to drinking water, sanitation, water quality, water use, water resources management, and water-related ecosystems. It describes how achieving SDG-6 requires integrated actions and has interlinkages with other SDGs. The document then discusses monitoring approaches for SDG-6 including 12 indicators, and gives examples of how indicators related to drinking water access, ambient water quality, and water stress are defined and calculated. Global monitoring initiatives that contribute to SDG-6 like JMP, GLAAS and GEMI are also outlined.
Water scarcity is a growing problem in India due to rising population, overexploitation of resources, and poor management. The document discusses how India's growing population and economy are straining limited water supplies, with demand expected to exceed availability by 2025. It provides details on water scarcity specifically in Tamil Nadu, where less than 500 cubic meters of water is available per person annually and groundwater levels are falling dramatically. The key impacts of water scarcity mentioned are drought, crop failure, unemployment, and conflicts over access to water.

The proposed Wajir/Habaswein Water Supply Project aims to provide clean water to residents of Habaswein, Lagbogol and Wajir towns in Kenya. It involves developing 14 boreholes in Habaswein, constructing a 110km pipeline, and building storage reservoirs and reticulation systems. The project is funded by a 13.3 million euro grant from the Netherlands and 24.5 million euro from Kenyan parties. While inception reports and some surveys are complete, the environmental and social impact assessments and resettlement action plan are still pending.
Fly ash is a byproduct of coal combustion in thermal power plants. While fly ash was previously considered a waste material, it can be used as a supplementary cementitious material in concrete which improves workability and durability while reducing costs. The document discusses fly ash production in India, its composition and properties, and provides an overview of its uses in concrete as a more sustainable alternative to disposal of the ash in landfills.
Concrete Cloth provides protection of culvert inverts by fastening the material to areas experiencing abrasion. It forms a new wearing surface and can prevent further damage. While Concrete Cloth extends the life of drainage structures, regular inspections are still needed. Pipes should be cleaned prior to installation, and minor repairs may be required. Concrete Cloth uses a cement composition making it durable, with abrasion resistance similar to or greater than concrete. Its fiber reinforcement prevents it from disintegrating like concrete during wear. Proper thickness should be selected based on the abrasion environment and a 25-year design life is estimated.
The document outlines the key components and processes involved in an urban water supply system, including sources of water, intake and storage, water treatment, distribution systems, waste water collection and treatment, and considerations for planning and management. It describes the various stages of transporting and treating water from source to consumer as well as collecting and handling wastewater. Key aspects covered include surface and groundwater sources, intake structures, storage, treatment methods, distribution pipelines, sewage collection networks, and wastewater disposal.
Fly Ash is a burnt residue of pulverized coal (bituminous or sub-bituminous) and is siliceous in nature. In past few decades, R&D efforts were undertaken and it has been proved that this material can be utilized in number of ways in building construction products as well as in civil works with adequate durability. Major areas of fly ash utilization are Building materials such as Bricks, Blocks, Tiles, etc. Also used in Grouting, Engineered fills for low-lying land spaces for human settlement, use in Road Construction and Construction of ash dykes and embankments.
Fly Ash brick is a product of basic cement clinker materials i.e. FLY ASH, STONE DUST/SAND, LIME, GYPSUM and BONDING AGENT. The mix is so ideally worked out to produce bricks of higher strength with consistency as well as uniformity. The manufacturing process is fully automatic with state of art technology. Though a new age product introduced in the market, Fly Ash bricks are very well accepted by the organized sectors in heavy industries, high rise buildings, large townships, colonies, etc. because of unique features and merits.

Water Supply System for Town and Building Aroh Thombre
Water supply systems aim to deliver water to consumers with adequate quality, quantity and pressure. There are several types of distribution systems for buildings and towns. For buildings, water is supplied directly from main lines or pumped to an overhead tank for gravity feed. Town systems use gravity, pumping or a combination, with water stored in reservoirs. Distribution pipelines are laid in various patterns like dead-end, radial, grid or ring systems depending on the layout. The goal is to ensure reliable circulation and supply of water to all areas.
1. The Public Health Engineering Department in Bihar is installing small water treatment plants to treat groundwater contaminated with fluoride and arsenic. The plants will supply 4000 liters of treated water per day to local communities through stand posts.
2. Key components of the treatment plants include borewells, a treatment building, solar panels, an oxidation chamber, iron removal and fluoride removal filters, an overhead tank, and a distribution system of pipes and stand posts.

Fly ash is a fine powder recovered from coal-fired power plants that is generally spherical in shape ranging from 0.5 to 100 micrometers. It consists mainly of silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, and iron oxide. Fly ash can be used to produce bricks containing 60-80% fly ash, along with lime, gypsum, and/or cement and sand. The raw materials are mixed with water and pressed into bricks then cured for 21 days before use. Fly ash brick production is an eco-friendly process that reduces air and water pollution compared to traditional clay brick production.
The document provides information on a proposed fly ash brick production project. It details the production capacity of 24 lakh bricks annually worth Rs. 78 lakhs. The manufacturing process involves mixing fly ash, lime, gypsum and sand using a pan mixer and pressing the mixture into bricks using an automatic machine. The bricks are then water cured for 7-10 days before drying and sorting. The project involves fixed capital investment of Rs. 24.92 lakhs and is expected to generate an annual profit with expected sales of Rs. 81.6 lakhs from producing 24 lakh bricks.

Overview for the Safe Drinking Water.pptxRashmiSanghi1
The document discusses ensuring access to safe drinking water. It notes that water is essential for life and health. The World Health Organization and UN have emphasized providing universal access to safe drinking water. Standards and guidelines for drinking water quality have been developed to assess water sources and ensure treatment and supply by authorities is effective. Regular testing of drinking water supplies is important to understand health risks and implement proper controls.
This document discusses water, sanitation, and hygiene. It defines sanitation as the hygienic means of promoting health through preventing contact with waste hazards. Over 1 billion people lack access to safe water and over 2.6 billion lack basic sanitation. Common forms of excreta disposal without water carriage include pit latrines and defecation fields. Preventing rodents and vermin requires sanitation, sealing entry points, traps, and natural repellents to control pests without chemicals.

1. Access to safe, adequate water supplies is essential for human health and development. Without enough clean water, diseases can easily spread through factors like contaminated food, water, hands, or surfaces.
2. A lack of sufficient water makes it difficult to maintain basic hygiene practices that prevent many diseases. Diseases spread through fecal-oral transmission, like diarrhea, are particularly impacted by hygiene levels.
3. Improving water access, sanitation facilities, and hygiene education can significantly boost community health and development by reducing disease transmission and freeing up time previously spent collecting water.

Between 34 and 76 million people, mostly children, will die from preventable water-borne diseases by 2015 even if access to safe drinking water doubles globally. Proper maintenance of drainage and water infrastructure is important to prevent disease transmission, as is monitoring water quality, educating communities on hygiene practices, and coordinating response across government ministries and other stakeholders. A combination of short and long-term measures are needed to improve water, sanitation and hygiene to reduce mortality and morbidity from water-borne illness.
Who5 minimum water quantity needed for domestic useIftikhar Mahmood
This document provides guidance on estimating water needs and requirements for domestic use after an emergency. It recommends collecting information on the population size and individual water usage. Standard water requirements are provided for drinking, sanitation, cooking, hygiene, and other domestic needs which range from 7 to 50 liters per person per day depending on the situation. Non-potable water sources can be used for some needs. Proper management of water supplies, collection points, storage, and waste disposal is necessary to ensure access to sufficient water.
This document discusses water and sanitation challenges in India. It notes that water is essential for life but is often contaminated, and many people in India lack access to safe drinking water. Inadequate sanitation is also widespread and a major cause of disease. Some solutions proposed include seeking new water sources through desalination, reducing water demand in agriculture and industry, recycling water, and improving sanitation facilities and wastewater treatment. Proper sanitation is important for public health by preventing the spread of diseases.
In 2010, the UN General Assembly explicitly recognized the human right to water and sanitation.
Everyone has the right to sufficient, continuous, safe, acceptable, physically accessible, and affordable water for personal and domestic use.
Sustainable Development Goal target 6.1 calls for universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water.
The above target is tracked with the indicator of “safely managed drinking water services” - drinking water from an improved water source that is located on-premises, available when needed, and free from fecal and priority chemical contamination.
