Untreated greywater from rural households pollutes waterbodies and groundwater.
The 100 million+ newly built toilets in India require - periodic maintenance for sustaining their use, mechanized emptying for preventing manual scavenging, and treatment plants to avoid dumping of human faecal waste in waterbodies and open land.
Lack of actionable data and poor capacities of local governments severely limit effective planning and implementation of greywater and faecal sludge management (FSM).
We help cities adopt data driven approach to understand the risks, identify gaps, engage communities, and take action for clean toilets, safe wastewater management, and reuse of treated wastewater.
