A poster with diagrams of different types of water and a map

scientific poster with: Introduction • Millions of people worldwide still lack access to improved water, sanitation, and solid waste management, leading to negative impacts on public health and the environment1. • The water, sanitation, and solid waste management sectors are interconnected, but interventions often focus on only one area, neglecting a comprehensive assessment and leading to negative consequences1. • This work proposes an approach for an Integrated Flow Diagram (IFD) that combines the interlinkages and mass flows between the water, sanitation, and solid waste management sectors1. Methodology • The study was conducted in the small town of Wobulenzi, Uganda, as a case study1. • The methodology involved three sub-objectives: 1. Designing an IFD to capture the interlinkages, material flows, and risks between the three sectors1. 2. Building the individual Water Flow Diagram (WFD), Excreta Flow Diagram (SFD), and Solid Waste Flow Diagram (SWFD) for Wobulenzi1. 3. Applying the IFD in the Wobulenzi context and gathering feedback1. Results • The IFD was designed to include different layers: interlinkages, material flows (for water, sanitation, and solid waste), and risks1. • The individual WFD, SFD, and SWFD were developed for Wobulenzi using data from the Integrated Baseline Assessment and other sources1. • The application of the IFD in Wobulenzi revealed the interconnections between the sectors and highlighted potential co-management opportunities and risks1. Discussion • The IFD has advantages for advocacy, monitoring, and planning, as it can bring stakeholders together, show unweighted mass flows, and help target interventions1. • The IFD requires expert knowledge and further development, and a participatory process with experts is recommended to create a generic and reproducible method1. Conclusion • The IFD proposed in this work represents a good starting point for an integrated planning approach and associated tools1.
