Transporting and Reusing a Waste System

Published on by

A rural ​community of ​4000 people in ​Central America ​currently has ​no running ​water and is in ​need of a ​sanitation ​system. The ​area has a ​shallow water ​table which ​is ​contaminated ​with human ​feces. ​

Would it be ​possible to ​transport an ​old already ​existing ​industrial ​waste system ​and convert it ​to a ​community waste ​and sewer ​system?  ​

If possible, ​how could this ​best be ​achieved and ​what are the ​risks? Which ​infrastructure ​parts can be ​reused and ​which can't?​  ​
