An eye opener to inclusive sanitation planning. The course content was very well delivered not to mention the choice of case studies of failed and successful urban sanitation projects. Keep it up!!!

Thank you for the course. It was a great opportunity to learn more about sanitation, especially for low-income scenarios. I think it summarized well the major concepts, tools, technologies and steps for planning sanitation systems. I'm a Environmental Engineer student from Brazil e this certainly improved my knowledge.

This is a great course to everyone who wants both to learn more about sanitation in development countries or remember technologies involved in alternatives waste water treatment. I recommend that to all. There is a lot of data presented that make us forget about just "planning with pipes" to planning with people.

A global vision of whole sanitation sistems including stakeholders, so useful procedures and very interesting examples.

I recommend this course for everyone who want to know more about sanitation, if your technician better but isn't a must at all

I think it's a platform to know about standard sanitation system and planning process according to the condition of a locality. The case studies also helpful to relate the technologies or sanitation system with the real situation or world.

This course covers a wide range of sanitation systems in a concise but well-structured manner. All the lecturers are eloquent and use lots of case studies to expand on concepts, which makes it this excellent for beginners.

Very good general overview of how to approach deciding which sanitation system to use in many different contexts. It does not go into great detail regarding the design or operation of treatment systems. It is worth taking!
