Towards Healthy Cities: Decentralized Sanitation Planning Strategies for Ramdas City in India
Abstrak
This paper examines the Management of Faecal Sludge and Septage in Urban Areas. Over 80% of all wastewater ends up going right away into ponds without treatment, which cannot be overlooked. In this context, FSSM alludes to a decentralised sludge and the septage management method that consists primarily of five components that comprise a faecal sludge value chain. In comparison to centralised sewerage systems, FSSM is the only affordable and sustainable technique that can be implemented quickly to make cities clean and healthy. Thus Ramdas, a fourth-class town, was chosen for study, and no systematic drainage facilities were built. Currently, the bulk of the town's houses rely on on-site sanitation systems such as septic tanks and pits to contain and partially treat generated black water. As a result, this town has been chosen to improve the existing sanitation conditions. It reveals that in the town 26 % of the household do not have septic tanks which are a main issue and 26% of the households are still practicing open defecation. Some houses have septic tanks, but are not well maintained and cleaned on time. Urgent attention is needed.
