WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT IN RURAL INDIA Wastewater is sewage and non-potable water that flows back into the environment, and most of it is untreated. This leads to the contamination of surface as well as sub-surface water, having negative effects on the environment and human health. Wastewater management programs in rural areas are aimed at treating and managing sewage and water used for non-potable purposes.
HISTORY OF WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT IN INDIA: AN EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW • The Harappan civilization was one of the earliest yet most-advanced civilizations in the world. • Wastewater disposal and drainage systems were made of complex networks. • Latrines, pipes and channels, cesspools, and soak pits were key elements of sewage systems of that era. • Channels covered with bricks and stones were connected to all the settlements of Mohenjo-Daro.

WHY TREAT WASTEWATER AT ALL? Wastewater treatment is interconnected with the water chain, and thus affects the environment. Water used by rural homes gets converted to sewage or gets contaminated with chemicals and other pollutants. It must be treated before it is released back into the environment.
