Section 4 outlines some of the wastewater management options available and discusses aspects that need to be considered before implementing a system. Section 5 highlights the potential that wastewater has as a valuable resource. Section 6 looks at how wastewater management is being considered in the context of the Post-2015 Development Agenda and section 7 brings together some of the issues that need to be considered in acting upon wastewater management and water quality issues, including the need for strong governance and data gathering.
