Do you want learn how to apply concepts of sustainable faecal sludge management (FSM) on a city-wide scale? This course starts with an overview of what faecal sludge is and an introduces you to the engineering fundamentals and required information for the design and selection of technologies. Sanitation solutions are prone to failure if an integrated planning approach that includes stakeholder involvement and the development of appropriate institutional, management and financial arrangements is not implemented. The course therefore dedicates a complete week to presenting the full picture, in addition to technology, that needs to be considered for sustainable solutions. It concludes with a focus on current research and innovations in technologies, to provide an understanding of the most up-to-date options.

An introduction to faecal sludge management
This first week of this course includes an overview of what faecal sludge is, and the importance of an integrated approach to faecal sludge management. It provides an introduction to what is currently lacking, weak links in the service chain, and also presents positive examples of what is working.
Overview of fundamentals for design and selection of treatment technologies
The second week of this course is based on an integrated engineering design approach, and will introduce fundamentals and required information for the design and selection of technologies, including objectives, mechanisms, quantification and characterization. It also includes the collection and transport of faecal sludge to treatment.
Treatment technologies for faecal sludge
The third week of this course focuses on engineering aspects of how to size and properly operate treatment technologies.
Integrated approach to faecal sludge management
Sanitation solutions do not rely on technology alone, and are prone to failure if an integrated planning approach that includes stakeholder involvement and the development of appropriate institutional, management and financial arrangements is not implemented. Presented in week 4 is the full picture, in addition to technology, that needs to be considered for sustainable solutions.

It was an excellent learning opportunity with a new challenging field of research. I am keen to register more subjects in the future in related subjects under your mentoring. RegardsDr. Bhaskar Das
Highly recommended course for anyone who wants to learn about the basics of Faecal Sludge Management. I thank the instructors and the entire team for a thorough coverage of topics in FSM.
It was an excellent course for a professional person who wants to know how to calculate or design an FSM plant in a city and intend to learn the technicalities in the design process.
Enjoyed the course. I met Dr. Linda Strande, during the FSM 4 in Chennai and was influenced by her practical approach. Would recommend the course to my friends in the field of FSM
this course is very useful in WATER SANITATION HYGIENE sector.\n\nit helped me in understanding very new concepts related to FSM.\n\nthank you .coursera and EWAG team.
This course has broaden my horizon.it has also exposed me to a lot of information and ideas to help me make impact in my environment\n\nthanks i really appreciate
Provided a great overview of the topic. Great support for a manager trying to gain perspective on the complexities of FSM and sanitation systems.
Great course, some modules moved a bit too quick for me but the back up information was really informative and supported this we
This MOOC is very good. I had learnt many concepts of FSM. I am looking forward to use some of the concepts in my research work.
Really enjoyed this course, which was professionally presented and facilitated. Great overview of FSM and hub of information.
A good course, I hope you introduce a course on the laboratory analysis on faecal sludge like COD,BOD, TSS. TDS etc
Excellent course for those having chemical engineering/environmental engineering background.
Very informative introduction to feacal sludge management explained in a very clear way.
Course was very helpful in understanding clearly about Faecal Slugde and its Management
the course is really interesting. a lot things need to be learned but it was excited.
This was a great refresher for me, AND I gleaned new and affirming information.
Videos are great, a lot of real life examples are given. Very well structured!
Very informative and good platform of learning faecal sludge management
Very well done, good structure, plenty of very interesting resources!
A great learning course with relevant published results
