Evidence of the socio-political and economic impacts of liquid-waste at the global level is rapidly emerging as an important new field of study in the twenty-first century as testified by the works of Gandy, Reid, Barnes, Alley, and Zimmer on the politics and history of liquid waste. This evidence is increasingly being considered by scholars from multidisciplinary backgrounds (Economic History, Water Engineering, Biology, Geography and Environmental Science), who focus on different types of liquid wastes, wastewater, sewagecontrol, and waste-management. However, whilst the work on environmental forewarnings by Kwiatkowska and Holland plausibly notes that ‘modern environmental consciousness was slow to form’, its reflections may be extended to include information and education as a management-tool and as a catalyst for speeding up awareness/consciousness levels in the policy-formulation and practice-processes. This article proffers an economic history analysis of citizen perception to encapsulate major forces on how citizen-engagement on liquid waste management emphasising information and education was circumvented by influential decision-makers in Zimbabwe from 1980 to 2016. There was a lot of political change and scientific advancement throughout this era. Whilst this is quite a lengthy time, it is used to flag enough about decision-making or policy-perspectives by way of analysing common longitudinal trends and methods to give the 36-year period reasonable treatment. The overall aim of the paper is to use environmental policy and education-perspectives on liquid wastecontrol and society’s responses (and attitudes) to them to identify and understand the major policy-constraints and the environmental impact of liquid-waste on Zimbabwean urban society based on the case study selected of the capital city, Harare.

公民参与规避：津巴布韦哈拉雷液体废物信息/知识、控制和环境政策前景分析

Gandy、Reid、Barnes、Alley 和 Zimmer 的著作证明了液体废物在全球范围内的社会政治和经济影响的证据正在迅速成为 21 世纪一个重要的新研究领域液体废物的政治和历史。来自多学科背景（经济史、水工程、生物学、地理和环境科学）的学者越来越多地考虑这一证据，他们专注于不同类型的液体废物、废水、污水控制和废物管理。然而，虽然 Kwiatkowska 和 Holland 的环境预警工作似乎合理地指出“现代环境意识的形成很慢”，其反思可以扩展到将信息和教育作为管理工具和作为加速政策制定和实践过程中认识/意识水平的催化剂。本文提供了公民认知的经济史分析，以概括 1980 年至 2016 年津巴布韦有影响力的决策者如何规避公民参与液体废物管理强调信息和教育的主要力量。整个时代的进步。虽然这是一个相当长的时间，但它被用来通过分析常见的纵向趋势和方法来充分反映决策或政策观点，从而给予 36 年的合理处理。
