LOZANO, Araceli; RODRIGUEZ, María J.; MANCEBO, José A. y LEANTE, Daniel. Evaluation of isolated sewage treatment systems in Nicaragua. Tecnol. cienc. agua [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.1, pp.122-145. Epub 21-Abr-2021. ISSN 2007-2422. https://doi.org/10.24850/j-tyca-2019-01-05.
For some time, interesting projects have been undertaken to treat wastewater in isolated rural areas through low-cost facilities, which allow improved quality access to service for most of the population without economic resources. The present work addresses the problem of access to family sanitation from a low cost technological perspective with the integration of actors: beneficiaries, local operators, National Institutions, University, and International Development Cooperation Organizations. This article presents the analysis of the technologies implemented, integrated and socially accepted in Local Projects and International Programs in Nicaragua: The Rural Cup and the Popular Ecological Toilet. After evaluating its operation from an applied approach, proposals for analysis are presented, highlighting recurrent issues in the implementation of low cost technologies such as the need to implement processes of dissemination, technology transfer and knowledge democratization.
