() Sanitation and disease: health aspects of excreta and wastewater management. World Bank. Sanitary disposal of human waste is necessary for the following reasons: to eliminate the causative agents of those water and excreta-related diseases; to convert waste into readily re-usable resources and so conserve both water and nutrients; and to prevent the pollution of any body of water (ground water or surface water) to which the.

Sustainable sanitation recognizes that in order to be sustainable, a sanitation approach must be socially acceptable and economically viable. In this way, sustainable sanitation is a loop-based approach that differs fundamentally from the current linear concepts of wastewater management, and that does not only recognize technology, but also social, environmental and economic.
