FOREWORD Neate Oecmter 19
Sate water supply and hygienic sanitation facilities are the two
basic essential amenities the community needs on a top priority tor
healthy living, While provision of safe drinking water takes precedence
In the order of provision of basic amenities to community, the
importance of hygienic sanitation facilities through low cost on-site
Sanitation, conventional sewerage and sewage treatment can no
longer be allowed to lag behind, as about 60% of water used by the
community comes out of houses in the form of waste water which
Unless property collected. conveyed, treated and safely disposed of
may eventually pollute our precious water resources and cause
environmental degradation.
‘As of now about 45% of urban population has been provided
with reasonable hygienic sanitation faciities in our country and as
such there is still much to accomplish $0 as to reach 100% coverage
While it is necessary to adopt conventional sewerage and treatment
‘methods in our metro and mega cities, itis economical to go in for low
cost option wherever feasible particularly in small and medium towns.
Yet another important area which needs the urgent attention of our
Public Health and Environmental Engineers is possibilty of re-use and
recycling of waste water after necessary treaiment for various
beneficial uses so as to reduce the ever increasing demand for
fresh water.
Wt is hoped the revised Manual on Sewerage and Sewage
‘Treatment brought out by the Central Public Health and Environmental
Engineering Organisation of this Ministry will meet the professional
needs of the practising Engineers dealing with sanitation sector in the
country for achieving the goal of “sanitation for all” within a
reasonable time frame,
