Challenges of poor surface water drainage and wastewater management in refugee camps (2016)
Journal Article
Ajibade, O. O., Tota-Maharaj, K., & Clarke, B. (2016). Challenges of poor surface water drainage and wastewater management in refugee camps. Environmental and Earth Sciences Research Journal, 3(4), 53-60. https://doi.org/10.18280/eesrj.030402

Since refugee camps are meant to be temporary and setting them up usually require urgency, little attention has been given to provision of surface water drainage and to a lesser extent wastewater management. As the population of refugees in these cam... Read More about Challenges of poor surface water drainage and wastewater management in refugee camps.
