Resilient sanitation for settlements affected by water scarcity: A case study of Manabí, Ecuador
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Sanitation in Manabí is considered an unmet basic need, which despite the efforts of the various levels of Government to cover it, does not seem to have given significant advances. Conventional technology to give coverage to the population without access to this human right does not respond to the reality of the segment of the population who live in rural and marginal urban sectors. This picture doesn’t get any better if we include in the analysis the vulnerability of that same technology to areas with water scarcity.Access to sanitation must be understood from the context in which the need was generated. Moreover, it states that the sewerage networks involve costly civil works; to implement this type of technology is not feasible, neither technically nor economically in human settlements for affected people. Without even mentioning the environmental impact it causes.
