DEWATS are locally organized and people driven systems that typically comprise a settler, anaerobic baffled tanks, filter beds of gravel and sand, and an open pond. The open pond or the polishing tank recreates a living environment for the wastewater to clean itself, naturally.

Third Sector Partners invites applications for executive director, Mercy Corps India at Delhi – Apply by August 12, 2011
Posted on 27 Jul, 2011 01:36 PMThird Sector Partners, a leading CxO and board search firm in the Not for Profit sector, has been retained by Mercy Corps to hire its Executive Director, India.
Mercy Corps is seeking a bold, action-oriented, and creative leader with a passion for social entrepreneurship to be its Executive Director (ED) for Mercy Corps India (MCI). MCI is a member of the global Mercy Corps family, but is registered as an independent Section 25 company with a separate Board of Directors. The ED must therefore be a shrewd navigator, able to steer our country presence along a truly “local to global” axis as an independent entity, while at the same time maintaining close links to the ethos and administrative structures of the parent company, Mercy Corps.
