Jerash refugee camp is one of the ten official Palestinian refugee camps located in Jordan. It is inhabited by about 28,000 people who originally fled from Gaza, Palestine, in 1968, as a result of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Wastewater has been used for irrigation in Jordan for several decades.
Addressing food insecurity in resource-poor settings is difficult in any context. However, in protracted refugee camp situations, where people are almost entirely dependant on humanitarian assistance, the challenges are even greater. The development and adaptation of multi-storey gardens has been tried in refugee camps in Kenya with impressive success.
The segregation, collection and disposal of saline wastewater streams into solar evaporation are practiced in tanneries to minimize the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)and Chlorides in the treated effluent and to protect the environment. The wastewater

New Delhi: DJB on Thursday shut down its two water treatment plants as officials said level of ammonia had been rising beyond permissible levels since the past couple of days. On Thursday, it shot up so much that the plants had to be shut down and the water released back into the river.
Pilot project to tackle shortages, future increase in water demand The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) will soon start a pilot project to recycle wastewater, in a bid to tackle the growing shortage of water in the Capital, and the demand that is expected during the Commonwealth Games in 2010.
up visions of rusting junkyards on the wrong side of the tracks. But this image may soon get a green makeover. A research project in China suggests that iron shavings from factories can be a cheap and efficient way to clean up polluted water. And because such scrap is widely available, the system could be particularly useful in developing countries.
TIRUCHI: Decentralised and community-based systems could provide an efficient and cost-effective solution for individual houses, apartments and colonies in urban centres. While centralised treatment systems required huge capital investments and could pose problems in terms of maintenance and efficiency, decentralised system offered a viable alternative for management of wastewater.
Owing to its enormous construction and maintenance costs, the management of wastewater in many urban centres of developing countries via a centralised wastewater management approach is very difficult.
Environment management is a significant challenge in developing countries mainly due to lack of strong legislation to control wastewater and institutional capacity for integrated planning and management. This paper describes the importance of small scale
