Abstract
Limited water and sanitation infrastructure in rapidly
urbanising informal settlements can present significant health and
environmental risks to the populations of developing nations. Where
formal piped networks are not available, road-based sewage treatmenttransportation
options have been cited as a viable alternative. However,
little research has been undertaken to evaluate the long-term operational
costs of such systems. In this paper we present an evaluation of network
modelling, as a novel method to evaluate the costs of road-based sewage
treatment-transport options. Such analysis is made possible using crowdsourced,
open geospatial data sets that allow us to examine costs based
on different spatio-topological network configurations. It is envisaged
that engineers could use such a tool as part of the sanitation planning
process, to evaluate sanitation network implementation options. This
study provides an evaluation of the methods using a case study from the
Kibera settlement in Kenya.
