Abstract
- Unfortunately, there are globally various examples of poor wastewater planning and management of poorly targeted government investments that targeted low priority problems ineffectively. Integrated wastewater management is essential for responsible use of the environment and affordable provision of services within an overall water resources management system. About 7.5 % of all deaths in India are due to deficiencies in safety of water sanitation or hygiene. The effective use of treated effluent for gardening, industries can save the potable water which can be sufficiently utilised in draughts in States like Rajasthan where underground water is the main source of water supply. During present work, a study has been undertaken for integrated wastewater management system for Jaipur city. The city has sufficient sewage treatment plants (STPs) to meet the wastewater generated. An attempt has been made through this article to understand the present available system to handle the water scarcity issues effectively and to suggest that no sustainable solution is likely to come up until an integrated approach including socio-political reasons behind wastewater pollution is achieved.
