| Abstract | The main purpose of the Sida Sanitation Workshop was to widen the range of policy options in sanitation by presenting and discussing ecological alternatives in urban sanitation with special reference to the possibility of reusing human excreta, particularly urine, for agricultural purposes. Fifty participants from 22 countries analyzed the basic problems of urban sanitation, discussed a variety of possible solutions, presented case studies from around the world and visited an ecological sanitation project in the vicinity of Stockholm. The main papers from the Workshop are presented in this report. Other case studies are summarized here but can be made available in full upon request to Sida. The findings of the Workshop were presented at the Stockholm Water Symposium the following week and are included in these Proceedings. |
