Deplorable characteristics of

Indian Sanitation.

• Lack of labour.

• Mismanagement of the

garbage is more in urban

areas.

• Improper segregation of

garbage at basic level.

• No Sewage Treatment

Plants.

Our Proposals for Better India…

*It can be also done with

human waste

Output: nutrient-rich organic

Fertilizer, soil conditioner.

Output : This will help those who doesn’t have

place to defecate.

• Vermi Composting : • Sewage Treatment Plants :

It is the process

of removing contamination from waste water and

household sewage, it includes physical, chemical

and biological contaminants.

Output : It produces

environment safe fluid waste

stream and a solid waste used

for reusing and disposal purpose.

• Active Charcoal : It is form of carbon processed

to be riddled with small, low-

volume pores that increase the

Surface area available for adsorption.

Due to its high degree of micro porosity,

Just one gram of Activated Charcoal has

surface area in excess of 500𝑚2 as determined

by adsorption of gasses.

Output: adsorbs the foul gasses from the public

toilets and public access areas.

• Public Toilets :

It is a room

containing many toilet

seats which is available

for public use.

It is the process of

composting using various worms, usually red

wigglers, white worms, other earthworms to

create a heterogeneous

Mixture of wastes.

• Output from public toilets can be used in vermicomposting areas.

Public

Toilets

• Human waste mixed with urine can be used instead of cow dung.

Vermi

Compost

• Adsorption of foul gasses.

• 1 kg charcoal is of ₹70 which is quite feasible.

Activated Charcoal

* All toilets will be provided with a sweeper and an attendant.

should be given free

organisation, as they use cloth

causing infections.”

Challenges and Risks…

6

Concept Risks

• Government or corporates do not see the viability

of funding this model.

• Unemployed people bellow poverty line do not

want to work.

• The Model will decay if not taken care properly

Implementing Challenges

• Difficulty in integrating with government

infrastructure.

• Keeping the toilets clean is a big challenge.

• This Model needs a massive efforts and also

general awareness to every citizen.

Advantages

• The Model will

help us keeping

the city clean,

as the

household

waste will be

properly

decomposed.

• Everyone will

have place to

defecate as

there will be

lots of public

toilets.

Our Proposals for Safe Drinking Water…

8

Rain Water Harvesting : is the conservation of

rainwater for reuse before it reaches the aquifer.

Uses include water for irrigation, livestock etc.

• We may use the stored rain water for washing

household things, agriculture.

• Promotes water and energy conservation.

Soakwells : They are the artificial wells of 6 to 7 feet that

are made for recharging the ground water. This method is

not costly indeed it is very user friendly.

• Soakwells will increase the level of ground water and

hence more water will be provided for drinking purpose.

Awareness For Citizens…

10

• Every individual should throw dry and wet garbage in different bins.

• Throwing garbage in open plots is a shameful offense.

• Polythenes below 40 microns must be used.

• Giving old things to the poor people reduces garbage

Sanitation

• Left out water from the washing machine should be used for gardening.

• Waste water from kitchen’s RO purifiers must be used.

• Informing immediately if found any leakage in water pipeline helps save a lot.

• Stored rain water must be used for toilet & kitchen purpose.

Water

AWARENESS

• Bollywood industry

may help a lot in

spreading awareness.

Like : >Advantages of

keeping clean.

>Hazardous water

borne diseases.

>Open defecation

problem.

>Separate Dry & Wet

garbage.

• Awareness campaigns

must be for all age

groups in villages,

schools & colleges, T.V.

Local Survey Dehradun… • Dehradun is the valley of rains, also

the capital city for the green state Uttarakhand.

• Though there is ample amount of rainfall in the city approx. 2763mm of rainfall over a year, so there is provision of clean water to every house or society.

REFRENCES:

• The data has been revived from the internet and public portals given on the Municipal Corporation websites.

• We also went to Cantonment Board, Dehradun for interviewing CEO Cantt. Board, Mr Arvind Kumar Diwedi.

• World Health Organisation®, Had lot of information about water and sanitation problem.

• Unicef© has the data records regarding the poor sanitation and drinking water facilities.
