Water Supply And Sanitation
The goal of the United Nations Water Supply And Sanitation Decade was to provide “Safe Water Supply And Adequate Sanitation For All” by the year 1990.
When you review this you will see that this has not been achieved although much progress has been made particularly in the provision of safe drinking water. During the last decade, the population lacking safe water supply in developing countries, reduced from 56% in 1980 to 31% in 1990. At the same time the population lacking adequate sanitation facilities only reduced by 10% from 54% to 44%.
The situation is particularly bad in the urban sector where the population lacking safe water reduced by as much as 15%, while the population lacking ad-equate sanitation reduced by just a mere 3%.
The urgent need for providing ad-equate wastewater treatment and disposal facilities in these densely populated urban areas is very clear, and must be considered seriously.
With a suitable sewerage system conveying waste water to a central location, an efficient and effective process of treating the waste to meet high environmental standards can be conveniently provided at an affordable cost.
