4. Waste management system in
India
• Average sewage a person releases is 225L4/day!
• In Mumbai, that amounts to about 500Cr litres of
water going down the drain every single day

5. underground sewage pipelines
subjected to pre-treatment
sewage water is left to settle in
tanks
settled and floating waste is
removed
flowing the water into huge
aerated tanks
the water is subjected to
chemical treatment
makes its way through the
complex network
easily removable waste is
filtered out
the solid matter settles down
and any oils, grease etc float
the water is sent for secondary
treatment
bacteria is allowed to act
discharged into water bodies
like rivers and lakes

6. • Problems
o Mainly depend upon electricity
o Use of chemicals for
disinfection poses a serious
environmental threat
o Disposal of the sludge and
solid waste produced in the
treatment process cause
environmental damage
• Solutions
o Need of an integration of
systems-o
A system that uses water as a
medium for waste collection
and soil as a medium for waste
treatment
o Such a system would consume
little energy and would
integrate in a seamless manner
with the natural cycles of
environment.

• Human Waste
▫ Entire human waste produced in the village is converted
into biomass
▫ Kitchen wastes, horticulture wastes etc are collected to
make compost
▫ The compost is packed in cement bags when ready

15. Ctd.
• Animal Waste
▫ Cattle waste is converted into biogas, to be used as a fuel
for cooking
▫ Slurry produced after extraction of gas is utilized as a
natural fertilizer in organic farming
▫ Cow dung is also used to prepare useful items like
bathing soaps, bathing powder,dhoop sticks etc. based
on ayurvedic formulae

16. Ctd.
• Food waste
▫ All the food waste goes under the process of grinding
and fed into biogas plant which produces methane
▫ The above prepared methane is used as fuel for cooking

17. Ctd.
• Foliage waste
▫ Includes all dried leaves, flowers
offered to the deities etc
▫ They plough a pit and in that pit all the foliage items
are dumped and then covered by 2-3 layers of soil
and sand for some time period
▫ This is done to make soil more fertile for growing
vegetables and fruits

18. Inorganic waste
• Plastic bags
▫ Utilized to store mud and compost
▫ Also used to grow plants, esp. grasses like kusha
whose roots can be easily extracted by cutting the
bag open

19. Ctd.
• Construction Aggregate
▫ Broken cement poles and bricks are utilized in making
permanent raised beds(PRB) for farming
▫ PRBs are an innovate way of saving human labor, tractor
usage, energy and time, before cultivation
▫ These beds are permanent and are more fertile and
conducive for growing vegetables, fruits and rice
cultivation

20. Ctd.
• Card board and cloth
▫ Waste card board cartons and cloth are used as a mulch
in the agriculture field
▫ A Mulch is a protective cover placed over the soil to
retain moisture, reduce erosion and provide nutrients
▫ Spreading the waste card board cartons and cloth on the
land also blocks sunlight, thus preventing growth of any
weeds.

• Wood dust
▫ Produced by sawing the wood used for construction of
various buildings in the village

▫ Reduce the amount of packaging you buy
▫ When purchasing just one or two items don't take a
bag
▫ Purchase steel bottle instead of going for plastics
• In the home

and other small items in the garage, workshop or
sewing room
▫ Use resealable, reusable containers for lunch
