Clean India: Working Models of Rural Waste Management

In rural areas of India, solid and liquid waste remains largely untreated and dumped in the open, posing a severe threat to public health and environment. It is estimated that nearly 18,000 million liters of liquid waste and 0.4 million metric tons of solid waste is generated each day in rural areas of India. Adopting effective systems at scale is the only reliable way to dispose this waste safely and sustainably. Several working models of waste management in rural parts of the country have been successfully implemented not only at the household, but also at the institutional and community level. This video, produced by the World Bank Water and Sanitation Program in partnership with Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Government of India, shares these models, the selected technology options, and how they work.
