SSP Journal
With Sustainable Sanitation Practice (SSP) we try to make available high quality information on practical experiences with available sustainable sanitation systems. SSP should fill a gap that we have identified in the last few years in which sustainable sanitation has become an important issue that is discussed among many disciplines. For SSP a sanitation system is sustainable when it is not only economically viable, socially acceptable and technically and institutionally appropriate, but it should also protect the environment and the natural resources. SSP is therefore fully in line with SuSanA, the Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (www.susana.org).
SSP is published quarterly, it is available for free online from this site. Thematic issues shall tackle selected fields of sustainable sanitation systems.
Issue 1: "Greywater" - October 2009.
Issue 2: "Successful models for operation and maintenance of sanitation systems" - January 2010.
Issue 3: "Use of urine" - April 2010.
Issue 4: "The ROSA project" - July 2010
Issue 5: "Sanitation as a business" - October 2010, deadline for contributions: 10 August 2010
Issue 6: "Toilets" - January 2011, deadline for contributions: 10 November 2010
We would like to invite all interested persons to contribute articles to SSP, be available as reviewers and/or suggest topics for future issues. If you are interested and want to contribute please contact the responsible person for the SSP editorial office, Mr. Fritz Kleemann (ssp@ecosan.at), for further details. We think that only with this participatory approach it will be possible to target the content of SSP towards the expectations of the readers.
With best regards,
