Building Urban Resilience: Sustainable Sanitation Solutions for Water-scarce India

Author(s) Dr. Anita Bhatt
Country India
Abstract The lack of access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation facilities in urban areas of India remains a pressing concern. By 2050, urban areas in India are projected to accommodate half of the country's population. This demographic shift is expected to exacerbate significant challenges, particularly in terms of acute water scarcity. The Composite Water Management Index by NITI Aayog in 2019 revealed that an estimated 163 million individuals in India lack access to safe drinking water, while approximately 210 million people do not have access to improved basic sanitation facilities throughout the nation. Thus, to address this issue, sustainable urban sanitation practices provide a holistic approach that tackles water scarcity and promotes resilience in water-stressed urban areas. By implementing sustainable practices, such as efficient water management, decentralised sanitation systems, and wastewater recycling, these areas can address the pressing issues of water scarcity. Simultaneously, these efforts contribute to advancing progress towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. This alignment is particularly evident in how improving access to clean water and sanitation (SDG 6) positively impacts public health (SDG 3), promotes sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11), and contributes to environmental sustainability (SDG 13). We can work towards a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future by adopting an integrated approach. This involves considering the interdependencies among the goals to create comprehensive strategies for positive and lasting change.
In this framework, the study aims to highlight the interlinkages between sustainable urban sanitation, water scarcity, public health, and environmental sustainability. The study also examines how the integration of water-efficient technologies and innovative wastewater treatment systems contributes to water conservation and endurance in urban sanitation. Based on this context, the potential research hypothesis is that the integration of water-efficient technologies and innovative wastewater treatment systems in urban sanitation will lead to significant water conservation and improved resilience, thereby positively impacting public health and environmental sustainability.
