Ecological Sanitation A sustainable approach to the future Müllegger, E., Lechner, M. (2004)

Ever since the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro 1992, all the world over people have been talking about environmental pollution, exploitation and the limitation of natural resources. Economic development, rapid urbanisation, fast population growth and migration to urban centres have all contributed to overloading the natural environment with harmful emissions – up to a very critical point. The effects are manifold, but those most affected are the poorest in society – especially women and children in developing countries. They suffer most from water related diseases and a damaged environment. One of the main burdens of the poor population is the lack of sanitation facilities. Worldwide, every second person does not have access to sufficient and safe sanitation. The majority of people, who have to struggle with contaminated drinking water and accompanying illnesses, live in Asia and Africa.
