Managing Faecal Sludge and Septage in Urban India: A Primary Non-Technical Guide

ABOUT THE BOOK The book is a non-technical guide for popularizing household sanitation. It becomes necessary in view of growing urban population, dimini shing household areas, and increasing degradation of urban environment, especially in densely inhabited localities in big cities. It discusses a number of options for maintaining qualitative sanitation at individual household level. These options are cheap and easy to maintain and upkeep. The much ambitious Swachh Bharart Mission incentivized construction of crores of individual household, community, and public toilets across the country in the last five years with sole aim of making the country open defecation free. Our cities are not covered fully with the sewerage network. There is no proper arrangement for disposing the sewage. The sullage of newly constructed toilets may make the city environment more dirty and complex, if not handled properly. This necessitates proper planning for managing the faecal sludge and septage, in advance ABOUT THE AUTHOR U.B. Singh, M.P.A., Ph.
