Engineering as a tool for
improving human habitat (Int. J. Management and Decision Making,
2009) – Quote: The
concept of Slum Networking proposes comprehensive water
and environmental
sanitation infrastructure as the central and catalytic
leverage for holistic
development. At costs less than the conventional ‘slum’
solutions, it tries to
penetrate a high quality urban infrastructure net deeply
into the slums to
assimilate them into the city rather than lock them in as
disadvantaged
islands.

Appropriate
Design Standards and Construction Specifications for Tertiary Sewerage Systems
[Faisalabad,
Pakistan] (GHK,
2002) −
in this publication settled sewerage is
recommended:
“Solids traps and interceptor tanks on household connections
are therefore an
integral component of the recommended design for tertiary
sewerage systems”
(pdf page 28) − interceptor tank design is given on pdf
pages 41−43.

Simplified sewerage in India
Simplified Sewerage
– An appropriate option for rapid sanitation coverage in urban areas
(Foundation for Greentech Environmental
Systems, 2008) − reported costs are one third
of those for conventional sewerage.
Note: simplified and settled sewerage are at least mentioned in the Indian
Sewerage and Sewage Treatment Manual (2nd ed., Ministry of Urban Develop-
ment, New Delhi, 1993): details here.
