Workshop: Waste Management in Developing Countries

<div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"><div class="flexinode-textfield-2"><div class="form-item"> <label>Location: </label> Edmonton </div> </div><div class="flexinode-textarea-1"><div class="form-item"> <label>Description: </label> <p>One of the things that are taken for granted in most ‘developed’ societies is the existence of systems for the efficient and safe handling, processing, and continued management of both solid waste and wastewater. Nevertheless, these are fundamental to the health and quality of life of our population and the sustainability of our society as a whole.</p><p>Such systems are often missing or deficient in less developed societies but, as their economies develop, two things happen:</p><p>Firstly, the amount of waste that is produced increases and, secondly, as people become more affluent they demand higher standards of health, environmental stewardship, and quality of life. Inevitably, this leads to a demand for better waste management systems.</p> </div> </div></div>
