Standard Operating Procedures for Fecal Sludge Management for Municipalities in Gujarat

This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is a step-by-step guide for ULBs to institute a framework for on-site sanitation system management. This SOP conforms to the advisory note on septage management released by MoUD and draws from UMC’s experience of working with ULBs in Gujarat. It provides a set of written instructions onseptic tank construction, cleaning and maintenance and disposal of sludge in a concise format. The SOPalso contains a set of recording formats to help ULBs to document the number of septic tanks andfrequency of cleaning for better decision making.Carried out under Performance Assessment System Project supported by CEPT University and Bill and Melinda Gates FoundationThe document details on:1. Background information on existing FSM practices in Gujarat2. Scope, applicability, methodology of preparation of SOP and target audience3. Standard Operating Procedure for integrated FSM • Audit of on-site sanitation systems• Guidance on construction of accepted OSS, routine O&M of OSS• Preparation of service plan for scheduled emptying of septic tanks• Capital infrastructure• Customer service protocols• Operating procedure for cleaning of septic tanks/soak pits• Safe transport of fecal sludge to STP• Treatment and disposal

State of the art compendium report on resource recovery from water

Increasing population growth leads to increased resource (water, food, chemicals and energy) demand. Concomitantly, increasing volumes of ‘used resources’, commonly considered waste, are produced. There is a growing awareness that the resources that could be potentially recovered from these used streams or wastes represent economic value and should not be lost. One of the greatest challenges is pursuing sustainable and economically responsible management of all resources, primary as well as used ones.In this context, the resources present in used water deserve to receive fresh attention. Indeed, some of them (including energy and phosphorous) have already become of interest. Yet overall, the feeling that making the things which are present in used water dissipate, or disappear as much as possible is still the safest and economic line of work. This is particularly so for waters contaminated with faecal matter. The cultural disgust towards unhygienic matter is certainly founded on longterm sanitation practices. Nevertheless, as we are entering an era of cyclic economy that is aware of the need for integrated sustainability, it is important for the International Water Association (IWA) to demonstrate its commitment to resource recovery, in all aspects. The creation of a specific cluster over arching all specialist groups in the IWA is demonstrative of th is willingness to act. This compendium aims to provide a preliminary assemblage of what can be on the agenda or could become of critical importance to get things going. The subsequent chapters thus try to raise awareness of the issues involved, and are particularly meant to activate readers from different backgrounds towards the conceptual but also pragmatic approaches of "cleantech" in the water business.
