Rural Wastewater Management

We support state governments to improve rural wastewater management through context-specific technical planning, local capacity building, and phase-wise implementation.

THE CHALLENGE

Our villages still lack safe and planned systems to manage wastewater. All households and institutions are not connected to drains leading to water stagnation in roads.

Solid Waste Disposal

Solid waste, including animal carcasses, flow into stormwater drains

Liquid Waste Disposal

Storm water drains are used for liquid waste conveyance

Sewage Planning

Drains not properly planned and lead to stagnation and ponding

Water
Bodies

Wastewater is discharged into open land or water bodies

OUR IMPACT

Our programs impact change at an ecosystem level - from grassroots to policy making.

OUR APPROACH

TAILOR & PLAN

We design village-level technical strategies suited to unique contexts — be it high septic tank density or difficult terrain. While creating standard technical interventions for various Gray Water Management (GWM) issues, we ensure suitability across diverse geographies.

TRAIN & ENABLE

We empower local personnel through intensive, hands-on training for data-driven planning exercises. By building local capacity in using data collection tools, we ensure ownership, accuracy, and sustainability in decision-making.

EXECUTE & SCALE

We implement solutions through a structured, phase-wise plan that allows for adaptive learning and contextual fine-tuning. This approach ensures smoother roll-out, better resource coordination, and long-term functionality of GWM systems.
