The Low Cost Sewerage Network seeks to connect sewerage engineers, agencies and institutions working on urban and peri-urban sewerage in developing countries. The network is particularly concerned with both settled and simplified sewerage, but not with sewage treatment. Settled sewerage has also been called small-bore sewerage and solids-free sewerage, and refers to the transport of domestic sewage which is settled on-site in a septic tank or aqua-privy. Simplified sewerage, by contrast, is for the conveyance of raw unsettled sewage in flat, shallow sewers (it is really conventional sewerage stripped down to its hydraulic basiscs, and with simple appurtanences replacing expensive manholes). Membership is welcomed (free of charge) from individual practitioners, researchers and institutions/agencies who are active (or who wish to become active) in low-cost sewerage. The Network operates through its own electronic discussion group; lcsewerage.
