Title
Review of Sustainable Treatment Options for Urban Sanitation Facilities in Developing Countries: India
Abstract
Generation and accumulation of domestic waste from fast growing human
settlements is becoming a major environment and health problem in developing country
like India. The problem is becoming very acute in urban areas. Appropriate
management of these wastes is very important for a positive improvement in the quality
of life in cities. With unprecedented growth of cities, the present waste management
facilities have been found to be very haphazard and inadequate. Conventional
methodologies like conventional sewerage systems presently in use are grossly
inadequate to manage the generated waste. As a result, untreated domestic waste
finds direct access to water systems or lies untreated on the land surface. Solid waste
management also is a major problem in virtually all the cities. This is grossly detrimental
to the environment and to the health of the community. Therefore, it becomes
necessary to take an overview of the existing situation and to think about appropriate
solutions and alternative technologies for the management of these wastes. This paper
will highlight one of such treatment option that has been employed in Pune District of
Maharashtra State (India).
