RUVIVAL Publication Series is a part of the RUVIVAL Reading Section. It gathers literature reviews on pressing issues in the context of sustainable rural development. It is a result of collaboration between Master students, PhD students and researchers at the Institute of Wastewater Management and Water Protection (AWW) at Hamburg University of Technology. Before they are published in the Publication Series, the literature reviews undergo multiple revisions and first appear on the RUVIVAL website as working papers. At that step, we are happy to receive comments by readers to further improve these papers. Please, send us a message using our contact form and share your ideas with us! RUVIVAL Publication Series, as all RUVIVAL publications, is also available for download via Open Research of Hamburg University of Technology.
