The Compendium of liquid waste management technologies is primarily a capacity building tool and reference book. In addition, it supports and enables decision-making by providing the necessary framework for designing a liquid waste management system, by giving concise information on key decision criteria for each technology, facilitating the combination of technologies to come up with full liquid waste management system
solutions and linking it to relevant cross-cutting issues. The users are also directed to additional information through further references in the publication and tools (case studies, pictures, working principle and comparative sheet). This publication is not a detailed design manual, rather it is a user-friendly compendium meant to facilitate informed decision-making in designing liquid waste management systems.
