Recent trends in technologies in sewerage system
The Ministry has adopted service level benchmarks for the water and sanitation sector with a view to shift the focus of urban development projects from infrastructure creation to improvement of service levels. The 13th Finance Commission has made it mandatory for all cities having municipalities and municipal corporations to disclose their performance in terms of these benchmarks annually. The Ministry is committed to mainstreaming these benchmarks through its various schemes. This note on sewerage and sewerage technologies has been envisaged in the above context.
