Saneamento básico: uma visão geral com ênfase nos elementos para construção, operação e manutenção dos sistemas de abastecimento de água e esgotamento sanitário

Abstract

Sanitation is an essentially prophylactic science. As such, prevents, or should prevent the emergence of problems and not put chasing their effects. Because it is a public health issue, it is of the utmost importance to meet the breadth of this theme. It is with this aim that we set out to develop this research, addressing in general the various facets included in this context, doing copy-editing of the bibliographical references used during the academic life, along with the professional experience. Details of construction, operational, maintenance and materials used in water supply systems and sanitation earn greater attention in this work, by the fact that vast professional experience, object and relevant importance in the process of conservation and application of new technologies, however, the storm water drainage systems, solid waste and vector control, are inserted in a clear and objective in this research, we understand that the sum of all these facets extend the vision, albeit misguided by many, the true breadth and importance of sanitation in the quality of life of human beings
