Appropriate Sanitation Alternatives: A Planning and Design Manual

Published for The World Bank by The John Hopkins University Press, 1982, with John M Kalbermatten, Charles G Gunnerson and D Duncan Mara – World Bank Studies in Water Supply and Sanitation 2

“A readily available supply of safe water and the sanitary disposal of human wastes are essential, although not the only, ingredients of a healthy, productive life.  Water that is not safe for human consumption can spread disease; water that is not readily accessible takes up the productive time and energy of the water carrier – usually women or children; inadequate facilities for excreta disposal reduce the potential benefits of a safe water supply by transmitting pathogens from infected to healthy persons. Coupled with malnutrition, these excreta-related diseases take a dreadful toll in developing countries, especially among children.”
