URBAN SANITATION & WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT
Locally appropriate, data driven, sustainable solutions are necessary for maintaining clean cities, healthy citizens, and preventing pollution of water bodies

Large gap in availability of public toilets across cities. Most existing public toilets are not usable.
Only 10% of Indian cities have sewage treatment plants. 70% of sewage flows untreated into water bodies.
Most large cities in India supply water from rivers far away at a huge energy cost. Local sources of water, including treated wastewater are not utilized optimally.
We help cities adopt data driven approach to understand the risks, identify gaps, engage communities, and take action for clean toilets, safe wastewater management, and reuse of treated wastewater.
Our programs impact change at an ecosystem level - from grassroots to policy making.

Toilet 2.0 compendium showcases innovative case studies of public and community toilets, providing a practical reference for urban local bodies, NGOs, and communities to scale inclusive and sustainable sanitation solutions.
The platform offers an interactive interface to visualize the status of public and community toilets across project towns, enabling ULBs to make data-driven and spatially informed decisions. The map layers highlight key attributes, including over-utilized (stressed) toilets, gender and disability-friendly facilities, high-activity zones, operating agencies, proposed locations, and service areas of existing and planned toilets. By integrating this spatial information, ULBs can efficiently plan, prioritize interventions, and optimize toilet coverage and service delivery.
