Technical bulletin on greywater reuse - WDM trilingual glossary
WaDImena has produced a technical bulletin on greywater treatment and reuse in MENA, and it is available now online. This bulletin introduces greywater as a Water Demand Management tool that has the potential to contribute to alleviating water scarcity in the dry countires of the MENA region. The bulletin captures local knowledge on greywater treatment and reuse in MENA, gained as a result of research projects funded and coordinated by IDRC. It is intended to highlight the future courses of action requisite to balance between the increasing challenges of water scarcity, food security and sustainable development. The bulletin also sheds light on the Aqaba declaration that came out as a result of the greywater experts meeting held back in February 2007.
The bulletin is written by Karma El-Fadl, and edited by Doaa Arafa, Lorra Thompson and Mark Redwood, and is produced in English, French and Arabic.
Also, the 2nd edition of the WDM trilingual glossary has finally been produced on CDs.
