Application
Simplified sewerage is most widely used in Brazil. It is estimated that in Brazil some 5 million people in over 200 towns and cities are served with simplified sewerage - or condominial sewerage. This corresponds to about 3% of the population of Brazil and about 6% of the population connected to sewers. They serve poor and rich alike.
Simplified sewerage has also been used in
- Bolivia, beginning with a pilot project in El Alto;
- Honduras, primarily in marginal areas of Tegucigalpa where simplified sewerage has been introduced in 20 communities with 24,000 inhabitants;
- Peru, primarily in marginal areas of Lima;
- in South Africa, where pilot projects were carried out in Johannesburg and Durban;
- in Sri Lanka, where the National Housing Development Authority implemented over 20 schemes in the 1980s and 90s.
In Pakistan, beginning with the Orangi Pilot Project in Karachi, a variation of simplified sewerage using larger diameter pipes has been used.

Famous quotes containing the word application:
“I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal.... Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
“My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
