    Real World Design: Appropriate Technology for Developing Nations

    New search for: Monk, Robert D.G.
    New search for: Hal, Terry
    New search for: Hussain, Mohammed

    Untimely ideas foisted on unprepared peoples run the risk of becoming albatrosses around their necks. The planet is littered with the technological graveyards of haphazard planning. Developing nations cannot afford these mistakes in the area of water treatment and delivery. Design and engineering concepts must match a nation's ability to build, operate, repair, and pay for them. A low‐technology, labor‐intensive water treatment plant was designed for Chittagong, Bangladesh. It incorporates the use of local materials and labor, limits energy use, and reduces imported technology while surpassing World Health Organization maximum permissible guidelines.
