CITY SANITATION PLAN - Ministry of Urban Development

Integrated Storm Water Drainage
CITY SANITATION PLAN BAREILLY
Integrated Storm Water Drainage system should be planned for the
city.
To accomplish this, local government and Nagar Nigam must change their current mindset. Many still
view that water and sanitation investments are too costly and not sustainable or replicable. It is
generally believed that some interventions are all that is possible. The Nagar Nigam does also disregard
the squatter settlements which absorb much of growing urban population. Moreover the slum
communities do not have ownership rights and are “not allowed” to invest in proper sanitary facilities,
even if they have motivation and capacity.
The first step is to provide basic sanitation or toilets facilities in slum and LIG. As mentioned earlier,
these must ensure hygienic separation of excreta from human contact, which means feces must be
confined until they are composted and safe. Regardless of the toilet technology selected, these systems
must also address sanitation all the way “from toilet to river,” meaning that pathogens and pollutants
cannot be allowed to enter nearby water sources, including aquifers. This is where sanitation becomes
particularly challenging, as affordability and environmental cleanliness are often at odds. The simplest
option; a pit latrine must be cleaned or emptied regularly, which is a difficult prospect in crowded
areas. Pour-flush latrines require that an ample water supply is readily available, as well as properly-
constructed septic tanks, drainage to carry away the wastewater, and services for eventually dealing
with the collection of sludge and transfer to a septage treatment facility.
Innovative partnerships must be forged to stimulate investments (PPP Model)
To realize higher levels of service coverage and quality, sanitation programs must stimulate investments
from as wide a range of sources as possible, including consumers themselves and the private sector.
Successful public–private partnership (PPP) models can help overcome the limitations of local
governments, which are under tremendous pressure in view of rapid urbanization and fast growing
slum and low-income populations. In the sanitation sector, partnership arrangements between the
public and private agencies, with the involvement of community networks, such as NGOs and CBOs,
