1. Expose the Compendium user to a broad range of sanitation systems and innovative technologies;
2. Help the Compendium user understand and work with the system concept, i.e. the process of building a complete system, by iteratively choosing and linking appropriate technologies;
3. Describe and fairly present the technology-specific advantages and disadvantages.
A second, revised edition of the Compendium is linked below, and presents a new range of information on sanitation systems and technologies in one volume.
