Urine Source Separation for Global Nutrient Management

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Women in Engineering and Science ((WES))

Abstract

The sewer-based paradigm for wastewater management at the global scale is not successful neither from a humanitarian nor from an environmental perspective. The systems are too expensive for the largest part of the global population. Source separation and resource recovery offer an alternative for sanitation and water pollution control. This chapter illustrates the importance but also the challenges of urine source separation for efficient nutrient removal and recovery.
