Cost effectiveness and sustainability of sanitation options: A case study of South Can Tho Technical report Willetts, J., Carrard, N., Retamal, M., Nguyen Dinh Giang Nam, Paddon, M., Do Xuan Thuy, Nguyen Hieu Trung and Mitchell, C. (2010)

The Institute for Sustainable Futures (ISF), from the University of Technology Sydney, in collaboration with Can Tho University (CTU) and Can Tho Water Supply and Sewerage Company (WSSC) completed a 2-year collaborative research project assessing the wastewater infrastructure options for Can Tho City. The comparison of alternatives was made on the basis of cost-effectiveness and on the relative sustainability of the options, as determined through a participatory stakeholder sustainability assessment process with several government agencies in Can Tho. The study compared four wastewater management alternatives for the new urban area of South Can Tho with an area of 2080 hectares and likely to house more than 250,000 people in the future. The intent was to examine the applicability of recent innovations and international trends in wastewater management. Alternatives considered include centralised treatment (Option 1), decentralised treatment at the scale of several hundred households (Option 2), a combination of centralised and decentralised (Option 3, as shown below) and an option with resource recovery in decentralised areas (Option 4). The resource recovery option involves urine diversion and storage for use as fertiliser in nearby agricultural areas.
