Stratégies d'accès à l'eau potable et aux infrastructures d'assainissement à Bamako (Mali)

Traore, Hamadoun 20 September 2012 (has links)
Dans la plupart des pays en voie de développement, l'un des défis majeurs à révéler par les pouvoirs publics demeure la couverture des besoins des populations en services sociaux de base (Eau potable, Électricité, Infrastructure d'assainissement, etc.). A Bamako, les problématiques liées à ces services se posent avec beaucoup plus d'acuité que la ville connaît un des taux de croissance démographique et spatiale les plus importants du continent (3,5%) . Malheureusement, cet étalement n'a pu être accompagné par un développement proportionnel des infrastructures adéquates à cause de la faiblesse des ressources de l'Etat. Les difficultés énormes rencontrées par ces pays dans ce domaine ont amené la communauté internationale à initier les OMD. Au Mali, comme partout ailleurs, un impressionnant arsenal institutionnel et juridique a été mis en place à cet effet (PNAEP, Code de l'eau, PNE, PNA, etc.). Grâce à ce dispositif, même si beaucoup reste encore à faire dans le domaine de l'assainissement, les objectifs seront atteints dans le domaine de l'eau. Et pour une meilleure efficacité de la société de distribution de l'eau potable, l'Etat malien a ouvert son capital aux investisseurs privés. Après une expérience de 5 années de partenariat public-privé, marquée par un environnement économique mondial difficile et un contexte sociopolitique complexe, le bilan est diversement apprécié. Bamako et plusieurs autres centres urbains restent partiellement privés d'eau potable. Pour pallier cette présence insuffisante de l'Etat, aussi bien dans le domaine de l'eau potable que de l'assainissement liquide, des initiatives locales se sont développées à travers toute la ville de Bamako. / In the majority of developing countries, one of the major challenges the authorities have to take up is to provide the populations' basic social services needs (drinking water, electricity, cleaning-up infrastructure, etc.). In Bamako, the set of problems linked to these services comes with more severity, as the city has one of the most significant population and spatial growth rate of the African continent (3.5%)1. Unfortunately, this spreading out of Bamako did not go with a proportional development of adequate infrastructures, due to the weakness of the resources the State has. The huge difficulties encountered by these countries in this field led the international community to initiate the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In Mali, like everywhere else, an impressive array of institutional instruments and legal arsenal has been enacted for this purpose (the National Drinking Water Access Plan, the Water Code, the National Environmental Policy, the National Sanitation Policy, etc.). Through this mechanism, the goals will be achieved in the area of water, though there is still much to be done in the area of sanitation. In order to ensure a better effectiveness of the drinking water supply company, the Malian government has even opened it up to private investors. After an experience of 5 year public-private partnership, characterized by a tough global economic environment and a complex socio-political context, assessments of the results achieved vary greatly. Bamako and many other urban centers partially remain without drinking water.

Evaluation of surface sanitation to prevent biological hazards in animal food manufacturing

Muckey, Mary Beth January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Department of Grain Science and Industry / Cassandra K. Jones / Animal food manufacturing facilities need to evaluate biological hazards within their facility due to their severity and probability to cause illness or injury in humans or animals. Control of biological hazards, including Salmonella and Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV), in animal food manufacturing facilities may require a preventative control to mitigate the risk of the hazard. Thermal processing is an effective point-in-time control, but does not prevent cross-contamination during drying, cooling, and packaging/load-out of animal food. Therefore, it may be appropriate to sanitize surfaces to prevent cross-contamination of animal food during manufacturing. The objective of the first experiment was to evaluate surface decontamination strategies for Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) using chemical disinfectants to reduce viral RNA on various manufacturing surfaces. Concentrated liquid formaldehyde and sodium hypochlorite reduced the quantity of viral PEDV RNA on all tested surfaces. Rubber belting from a bucket elevator retained the most PEDV RNA, while the polyethylene tote bag retained the least. In the second experiment, surface decontamination was evaluated for Salmonella Typhimurium using liquid and dry chemical sanitizers on various manufacturing surfaces. Surfaces treated with concentrated commercial formaldehyde had no detectable Salmonella after treatment, and surfaces treated with medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) had at least a 4-log reduction compared to the control. The dry commercial acidulant, sodium bisulfate, was the most effective dry sanitizer tested, but had limited efficacy depending on surface type. Experiment 3 further tested the application of two chemical sanitizers against Salmonella Enteritidis on residual surface and feed contamination in pilot-scale mixers. Manufacturing sequence, but not treatment impacted feed and surface contamination of Salmonella Enteritidis. Specifically, there was Salmonella-positive residue in the batch of feed manufactured immediately after the positive control batch. However, no Salmonella residue was detected in batches of feed treated with either concentrated commercial essential oil blend or rice hulls treated with 10% MCFA. Low levels of Salmonella residues were observed from feed and surfaces manufactured after Sequence 1, but no residues were observed by Sequence 2. This data suggests that sequencing of feed during manufacturing can reduce Salmonella-positive contamination within animal food and on manufacturing surfaces, particularly after the second batch or with the use of chemical treatments. In summary, liquid sanitizers have been shown to be effective at reducing Salmonella spp. and PEDV contamination on a variety of animal food manufacturing surfaces, but application and practicality may be limited.

Collaboration: a theory of governance grounded in deconstructing South Africa's sanitation policy

Rawhani, Carmel January 2016 (has links)
Thesis - Master of Management in Public Policy. University of Witwatersrand, Wits School of Governance / Objective: In this study I deconstruct South Africa’s sanitation policy in order to understand why demand-driven service delivery (i.e. service delivery based on collective action) has failed as a tool for public policy management. The overall objective was to locate both case-specific as well as generalizable answers in the data. Method: Guided by deconstructivism and Grounded Theory Methodology this paper mapped out the South African policy landscape and proceeded to code the data collected in that exercise through three rounds of coding. Once these elements of the planning which went into the study were explained and demonstrated, the results were shared. Thereafter the details of theory-building were explained before moving on to provide a literature review to position the study. Lastly, the emergent theory was applied to the South African sanitation case as a test of usefulness. Results: The emergent codes indicated a general consensus around the idea that public policy governance is largely the responsibility of government which is seen as powerful, while individual citizens are seen as marginalized and disempowered in the course of hoping to realize their rights. Deeper analysis revealed that individual citizens are the true holders of power as they have outsourced their responsibility to participate in collective action to government, leaving government alone in the process of service delivery. Conclusion: Demand-driven service delivery fails as a tool of public policy governance where there is a misunderstanding of public policy which prevents collective action. A quasi-theory of governance as collaboration emerged as the necessary solution to this problem. / MT2017

Evaluating the inclusion of sanitation and wastewater in climate policy and finance

Bayoumi, Moustafa January 2019 (has links)
Sanitation is critical for sustainable development. However, the current systems in place are vulnerable to future risks. One of the main risks expected to have severe effects on the earth systems and our societies is climate change. If not dealt with, it threats to hinder or even reverse the progress done in sanitation access so far. On the other hand, countries are lacking the financial capabilities to achieve the sustainable development goals related to sanitation, not to mention the additional costs needed to increase its resilience towards climate variability and extreme weather conditions. Nevertheless, sanitation is not only vulnerable to climate change, it is also a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions which drive climate change. It is therefore important to better understand the linkages between sanitation and climate change. The aim of this study is to evaluate the inclusion of sanitation in climate policy and finance. A secondary content analysis is used to identify interest in sanitation in countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris agreement. Climate-related official development assistance flows and financial elements of approved project proposals by the Green Climate Fund board are analyzed to quantify climate finance flows supporting sanitation projects. The results indicate that sanitation is largely ignored in countries’ climate agendas constituting only 1% of all countries’ activities with very scarce mitigation activities for the sector. Furthermore, sanitation is marginalized in the international climate finance landscape. Very limited climate-related finance from official development assistance was found allocated to projects with the main focus on sanitation. As for the GCF approved project proposals, only 7 projects out of 99 had sanitation or wastewater-related components and only one project of the 7 received GCF funding. These results indicate a knowledge gap of sanitation’s potential contribution to emissions reduction and the risks from climate change towards sanitation systems. Furthermore, it points out the need for better coordination between development and climate finance in order to reduce the finance gap and help achieve the sustainable development goals and the Paris agreement simultaneously.

Indicadores de benchmarking dos serviços de saneamento voltados a populações vulneráveis / Benchmarking indicators of water supply and sanitation services aimed at vulnerable populations

Temóteo, Tássia Gaspar 04 April 2012 (has links)
Diante da realidade de segregação residencial existente no Brasil, determinada pela heterogeneidade de renda, de condições sociais entre bairros e distritos, evidencia-se uma sociedade cada vez mais penneada por iniquidades sociais e ambientais. Somado a isto, há o fato do crescimento da concentração populacional em áreas urbanas. Este e outros fatores geram transformações nas estruturas das cidades acentuando conflitos referentes ao uso e ocupação do solo. Tais conflitos requerem agilidade de suprir demandas de fornecimento de serviços essenciais, tais como de abastecimento de água e esgotamento sanitário, especialmente quando se trata destes serviços às populações vulneráveis. Para apoio a medição e visualização desse cenário, de forma a elaborar políticas públicas e empresarias, é fundamental a utilização de indicadores, os quais, no entanto, não estão prontamente disponíveis. Emerge assim a necessidade de proposição de indicadores que mensurem o fornecimento dos serviços às populações vulneráveis em áreas urbanas. Neste contexto, com estudo de caso para o Estado de São Paulo, Brasil, a pesquisa teve como enfoque atuar na interface teórica e prática para proposição de indicadores. Foram realizadas, então, revisão bibliográfica, análise documental e discussão crítica com base no aprendizado do estudo de caso. Doze indicadores foram propostos e um sistema de indicadores de benchmarking dos serviços de abastecimento e esgotamento sanitário voltados às populações vulneráveis foi estruturado. O sistema e os indicadores foram identificados por meio do alinhamento de diferentes visões dos atores, o que permitiu que fossem condizentes com a realidade dos serviços, e posteriormente, mais facilmente implementados. / The income heterogeneity and social conditions between neighborhoods and districts show a society increasingly permeated by social and environmental inequities by means the reality of residential segregation that exists in Brazil. In addition, there is population growth occurred concentrated in urban areas, this and other factors that generate transformations in the structures of cities accentuating conflicts regarding the use and occupation. Such conflicts require flexibility to supply demands for essential services such as to provi de water and sanitation services, especially aimed to vulnerable populations. For the measurement and visualization ofthis scenario, in order to produce the policies and business, it is essential to use of indicators, which, however, are not readily available. Thus emerges the need to propose indicators that measure the provision of services to vulnerable populations in urban areas. In this context, with case study in Sao Paulo State, Brazil, the research was focused on theoretical and practical interface to proposed indicators. Were performed also, literature review, document analysis and critical discussion based on the learning case study. Twelve indicators were proposed and a system of benchmarking indicators for the water supply and sanitation services to targeted vulnerable populations was structured. The framework and indicators were proposed by aligning different views of the actors, in a way to be consistent with the reality of services and more easily implemented.

Tecnologia Social como facilitadora para tratamento de esgoto em área rural / Social Technology as a facilitator for the sewage treatment in rural área: Municipality of Pouso Alegre - MG

Ramos, Michelle de Fatima 12 April 2017 (has links)
O Brasil apresenta um déficit relevante de saneamento em áreas rurais. Segundo dados do último censo brasileiro, de 2010, cerca de 29,9 milhões de pessoas residem em áreas rurais, totalizando aproximadamente 8,1 milhões de domicílios. Como os domicílios rurais costumam ser dispersos, e mesmo nas áreas mais concentradas não há rede coletora de esgotos, as famílias geralmente recorrem a soluções alternativas para o esgotamento sanitário, muitas vezes inadequadas, como o uso de fossas rudimentares, em 49,9 por cento de domicílios rurais, e outras formas em 7,4 por cento de domicílios rurais, totalizando 57 por cento de domicílios rurais. Algumas alternativas para o tratamento de esgoto vêm sendo implantadas em áreas rurais, por meio de tecnologias sociais. Entre elas, podem-se destacar as fossas sépticas biodigestoras, que foram desenvolvidas pela Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária - EMBRAPA. Tais tecnologias têm sido implementadas em algumas comunidades rurais brasileiras destacando-se o caso das comunidades rurais dos bairros dos Afonsos e do Cantagalo, pertencentes ao município de Pouso Alegre, estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de analisar como ocorre o processo de implantação das fossas biodigestores nesses bairros e verificar se elas, de fato, cumprem com o papel de facilitadoras para o tratamento de esgoto em área rural do município de Pouso Alegre MG. Para isso foi realizada pesquisa de caráter qualitativo, por meio de levantamento documental e bibliográfico, entrevistas semiestruturadas, análise das transcrições e categorização dos dados. Para categorização e análise dos dados foi utilizada bibliografia sobre Tecnologia Social (TS). Apesar de os resultados evidenciarem pouca participação dos moradores no processo de tomada de decisão sobre o uso da tecnologia, há grande influência e credibilidade nas propostas feitas por uma organização não governamental local, favorecendo as intervenções atuais o que também possibilitará a inserção da TS como política pública, se aprovado o Plano Municipal de Saneamento Básico / Brazil has a significant sanitation deficit in rural areas. According to data from the last Brazilian census, 2010, about 29.9 million people live in rural areas, totaling approximately 8.1 million households. As rural households are often dispersed, and even in the most concentrated areas there is no sewerage network, households often resort to alternative solutions to sanitary sewage, often inadequate, such as the use of rudimentary septic tanks, at 49.9 per cent of Rural households, and other forms in 7.4 per cent of rural households, totaling 57 per cent of rural households. Some alternatives for the treatment of sewage are seen being implanted in rural areas, through social technologies. Among them, we can highlight the septic tanks biodigestoras, which were developed by EMBRAPA. Such technologies have been implemented in some Brazilian rural communities, highlighting the case of the rural communities of Afonsos and Cantagalo, belonging to the municipality of Pouso Alegre - MG. This research has the objective of analyzing how the process of implantation of the biodigestors in these districts occurs and verify if they, in fact, fulfill the role of facilitators for the treatment of sewage in rural area of the municipality of Pouso Alegre - MG. For this purpose, qualitative research was carried out, through documentary and bibliographic surveys, semi-structured interviews, transcription analysis and data categorization. For data categorization and analysis, a bibliography on Social Technology (TS) was used. Although the results show little participation of the residents in the decision making process on the use of technology, there is great influence and credibility in the proposals made by the local NGO, favoring the current interventions, which also allowed the inclusion of the TS as a public policy, if approved The Municipal Sanitation Basic Plan

Relações hidroquímicas e avaliação de entradas antrópicas na qualidade das águas superficiais do Ribeirão Guaçu e afluentes, São Roque, SP / Hydrochemical relations and evaluation of anthropic inputs in the surface water quality of the Guaçu River and tributaries, São Roque, SP

Santos, Eddy Bruno dos 19 December 2018 (has links)
São Roque situa-se a 60 km de São Paulo, em uma região composta por serras e morros. A hidrografia do município é composta por bacias tributárias do Rio Tietê. A cidade se desenvolveu às margens dos córregos Aracaí e Carambeí, cujos leitos fluem em margens canalizadas até o deságue no Ribeirão Guaçu. Estes córregos, bem como o Ribeirão do Marmeleiro, encaminham resíduos, detritos e todo o volume de águas pluviais ao Ribeirão Guaçu. Em 2017, foi instalada no município uma estação de tratamento de esgoto visando a melhoria das condições de saneamento na região. Diante disso, este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar as relações hidroquímicas quanto ao estado de trofia e demais impactos antrópicos na qualidade das águas do Ribeirão Guaçu, São Roque, SP, de modo espacial e temporal, mediante abordagem integrada de multitraçadores ambientais, situando a qualidade da microbacia hidrográfica pré e pós instalação de um sistema de coleta e tratamento de esgoto. Para avaliar a qualidade das águas dos corpos hídricos, foram efetuadas amostragens bimestrais de água superficial, obedecendo às épocas de chuva e de seca. Foram selecionados sete locais estrategicamente escolhidos e georreferenciados. As análises foram realizadas de acordo com os métodos analíticos baseados no Standard Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater. Foram analisados parâmetros físicos, químicos e microbiológicos, sendo os resultados comparados com os valores permitidos por lei. O IQA foi empregado a fim de se obter um panorama sobre a qualidade hídrica da microbacia em função da sazonalidade e um comparativo entre o período pré e pós-operação da ETE. Os pontos Marmeleiro e Guaçu 4 apresentaram maior influência antrópica. Todos os pontos analisados demonstraram-se comprometidos com contaminantes microbiológicos. Em relação aos físicos e químicos, diversos pontos apresentaram inconformidades. / São Roque is located 60 km from São Paulo, in a region composed of hills. The hydrography of the municipality is composed of tributary basins of the Tietê River. The city developed on the margins of the streams of Aracaí and Carambeí, whose channels channeled flows until the drain in the Guaçu River. These streams, as well as Marmeleiro River, send waste, debris and all the volume of rainwater to the Guaçu River. In 2017, a sewage treatment plant was installed in the municipality aiming to improve the sanitation conditions in the region. The objective of this work was to evaluate the hydrochemical relationships regarding trophic status and other anthropic impacts in the water quality of the Guaçu River, São Roque, SP, in a spatial and temporal way, through an integrated approach of environmental multipliers, placing the quality of the hydrographic microbasin pre and post installation of a sewage collection and treatment system. In order to evaluate the water quality of the water bodies, bimonthly sampling of surface water was carried out, obeying rain and dry seasons. Seven strategically chosen and geo-referenced sites were selected. The analyzes shall be carried out in accordance with analytical methods based on the Standard Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater. Physical, chemical and microbiological parameters were analyzed, and the results were compared with the values allowed by law. The WQI was used in order to obtain an overview of the water quality of the microbasin according to the seasonality and a comparison between the pre and post-operation period of the STS. The collect points Marmeleiro and Guaçu 4 presented greater anthropic influence. All analyzed points were shown to be compromised with microbiological contaminants. Regarding physicochemicals, several points presented nonconformities.

A escola como promotora da saúde: mobilização para melhores condições de saneamento básico / The school as a promoter of health: mobilization for better sanitation

Ribas, Maria Aparecida Pimentel Toloza 19 October 2016 (has links)
O saneamento é uma questão essencial para a qualidade de vida, para condições ambientais salubres, entre outros aspectos. O reconhecimento do saneamento como direito social diante da essencialidade à vida humana e à proteção ambiental ainda não foi contemplado dignamente. A pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar a viabilidade da escola tornar-se Promotora da Saúde implementando práticas sócioeducativas nos ambientes escolar e comunitário visando alcançar melhores condições de saneamento básico com mobilização social. A proposta adota a metodologia da pesquisa-ação com a estratégia da pesquisa social, atendendo os aspectos de interação e de investigação não se limitando a uma forma de ação, mas aumentando o conhecimento do pesquisador e dos atores envolvidos. Para tratar os dados de uma das atividades se utiliza o processo de análise de conteúdo. A pesquisa trata da Promoção da Saúde, da temática escola, do complexo saneamento e recursos hídricos; da mobilização, controle social e aprendizagem social. Definida a bacia hidrográfica do ribeirão da Vargem do Salto em Ibiúna/SP, para desenvolver as atividades previstas na pesquisa onde estão localizadas escolas municipais dos bairros Vargem do Salto, Lageado, Saltinho, Salto e Samano. Há um diálogo estabelecido entre a pesquisa e documentos oficiais legais para fundamentação teórica; e também sustentado pelo pensamento de Paulo Freire, John Dewey, Pedro Roberto Jacobi, Michael Apple, Moacir Gadotti, Leonardo Boff, Henry Giroux, Edgar Morin e Michel Thiollent. Promoção da Saúde definida como o processo de capacitação da comunidade para atuar na melhoria da sua qualidade de vida e saúde, inclui uma maior participação no controle deste processo e a escola pode ser um espaço para se concretizar as ações da Promoção da Saúde, proporcionando a mobilização, participação, o controle social e aprendizagem social. A síntese analítica adota o percurso metodológico de forma cronológica para apresentação dos resultados. Constata-se a função social da escola que adotando os princípios da Escola Promotora da Saúde adquire potencial para gerar processos que fortalecem a convivência, a participação, o diálogo permanente das pessoas e a compreensão consciente da sociedade em que vivem e a possibilidade de efetiva transformação. / Sanitation is essential to quality of life, healthy environmental conditions, among other things. The recognition of sanitation as a social right in light of its essentiality to human life and to environmental protection has not been contemplated in a dignified manner. This research aims to investigate the viability for the school to become a Promoter of Health by implementing socio-educational practices in the school and community environments in order to achieve better conditions of sanitation with social mobilization. The proposal adopts the methodology of research-action with the strategyof social research, taking into account the aspects of interaction and research, not limited to one form of action, but increasing the knowledge of the researcher and all involved. To process the data of one of the activities the content analysis process was used. The research deals with the Promotion of Health, the topic of the school, the sanitation and water resources complex; the mobilization, social control and social learning. The basin of the stream in Vargem do Salto in Ibiúna, SP, was established for the activities set in the survey to be developed, locality where municipal schools of Vargem do Salto, Lageado, Saltinho, Salto and Samanoare located. There is a dialogue between the research and the legal official documents for theoretical foundation; sustained by the points of view from Paulo Freire, John Dewey, Pedro Roberto Jacobi, Michael Apple, MoacirGadotti, Leonardo Boff, Henry Giroux, Edgar Morin and Michel Thiollent. Health promotion, defined as the process of empowerment of the community to work on improving their quality of life and health, includes a greater participation in the control of this process. The school can be a place to achieve the actions of Health Promotion, providing the mobilization, participation, social control and social learning. The analytical overview adopts a methodological path in a chronological way to present the results. It is noted that the schools social function that, adopting the principles of the School as a Health Promoter, gains potential to generate processes that strengthen coexistence, participation, permanent dialogue and the conscious understanding of the community in which they live and the possibility of effective transformation.

Indicadores para avaliação de efeitos de intervenções de saneamento básico: a questão da sustentabilidade / Indicators to assess effects of sanitation interventions: the issue of sustainability

Silva, Arisnandes Antonio da 02 September 2015 (has links)
As intervenções de saneamento básico, ou seja, as obras para implantação ou ampliação de sistemas de abastecimento de água e de esgotamento sanitário têm sido relacionadas à redução das taxas de mortalidade infantil ocorrida no estado de São Paulo nas últimas décadas. De fato, a relação entre saneamento básico e saúde pública é antiga, principalmente no que se refere ao controle das doenças de veiculação hídrica. Entretanto, ela se mostra muito fraca, ou até nula, para regiões onde os índices de cobertura por redes de água e esgotos já se encontram em patamares acima da média nacional, como é o caso de grande parte dos municípios do estado de São Paulo. Uma abordagem do saneamento básico, sob o ponto de vista da complexidade de suas relações, considerando aspectos multidimensionais, faz-se necessária como forma de repensar o setor de forma mais ampla, fugindo do senso comum. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar, analisar e descrever indicadores de sustentabilidade que pudessem estabelecer uma nova base para avaliação de efeitos de intervenções de saneamento básico, melhorando a determinação e acompanhamento dos impactos decorrentes, constituindo, então, uma matriz de indicadores específicos para a área, a partir da investigação dos conceitos de sustentabilidade e seus desdobramentos para o setor saneamento básico e o ambiente empresarial. Pesquisas em bases de dados públicas permitiram a identificação e seleção de indicadores multidimensionais para o saneamento, assim como a análise de correlação entre os indicadores selecionados possibilitou identificar possíveis benefícios de curto, médio e longo prazos, oriundos das intervenções de saneamento para os municípios do Vale do Ribeira. Utilizando modelos de organização de indicadores, como o Triple Bottom Line (TBL) e a matriz de indicadores FPSEEA, da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), com algumas adaptações, foi possível agrupar os indicadores de forma a permitir uma visão integrada das dimensões da sustentabilidade e, dessa maneira, determinar que as intervenções de saneamento básico possuem relações sistêmicas com indicadores sociais, ambientais e econômicos, que possibilitem, a partir de sua execução, o estabelecimento de um círculo virtuoso para os municípios / Sanitation interventions, ie the works for implementation or expansion of water and sewage systems, have been related to the reduction of infant mortality rates occurred in the state of São Paulo in recent decades. Indeed, the relationship between public health and basic sanitation is old, especially with regard to the control of waterborne diseases. This relationship, however, proves very low, or even zero, for regions where the networks coverage ratios of water and sewers are already at levels above the national average, as is the case of most municipalities in the state of São Paulo. An approach to sanitation from the point of view of the complexity of their relationships, considering multidimensional aspects, is necessary in order to rethink the most widely sector, running common sense. The objective of this research was to identify, analyze and describe sustainability indicators that could establish a new basis for evaluating effects of sanitation interventions, improving the determination and monitoring of the impacts resulting from them constituting an array of specific indicators to the area. It began with the investigation of the concepts of sustainability and its impact on the sanitation sector and the business environment. Searches in public databases enabled the identification and selection of multidimensional indicators for sanitation. Correlation analysis between the selected indicators possible to identify possible benefits of short, medium and long term, derived from sanitation interventions to municipalities of the Ribeira Valley. Using indicators of organizational models as the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) and the array of DPSEEA indicators, the World Health Organization (WHO), with some adjustments, it was possible to group the indicators to enable an integrated view of the dimensions of sustainability. Thus, it was possible to determine that sanitation interventions have systemic relationships with social, environmental and economic indicators, allowing from its implementation, the establishment of a virtuous circle for municipalities
