Here are articles that may help you on the issue of waste/wastewater and UPA, as discussed at the UNEP workshop at the end of October. The articles' topics are waterborne diseases, use of wastewater for UPA, climate change and health, and a few on more general topics related to the assessment. I hope you find these useful.
