NATIONAL URBAN SANITATION

POLICY
INTRODUCTION
• Sanitation is the process of providing services and facilities which safely dispose of human
waste and maintain public hygiene. This includes using clean and safe toilets, keeping water
sources clean and disposing of garbage safely. Sanitation is a global issue which affects the
health and well-being of the population, food production and the environment.

• While this policy pertains to management of human excreta and associated public health and
environmental impacts, it is recognized that integral solutions need to take account of other
elements of environmental sanitation, i.e. solid waste management; generation of industrial and
other specialized / hazardous wastes; drainage; as also the management of drinking water
supply.

VISION

• ALL INDIAN CITIES AND TOWNS BECOME TOTALLY SANITIZED

• AFFORDABLE SANITATION FACILITIES

• GOOD PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH

• HEALTHY AND LIVEABLE CONDITIONS

GOALS

• AWARENESS GENERATION AND BEHAVIOUR CHANGE

• OPEN DEFICATION FREE CITIES

• INTEGRATED CITY WIDE SANITATION

a) RE-ORIENTING INSTITUTIONS AND MAINTREAMING SANITATION
b) SANITARY AND SAFE DISPOSAL
c) PROPER OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF ALL SANITARY
INSTALLATIONS
IMPLEMENTATION
STRATEGY
KEY ISSUES

• POOR AWARENESS
Considered on lower priority and poor awareness about its result
on public health

• SOCIAL AND OCCUPATIONAL ASPECTS OF

SANITATION
No attention towards occupational hazards of manual scavenging in
spite of legal frameworks

• FRAGMENTED INSTITUTIONAL ROLES AND

RESPONSIBILITIES
Institutional gaps and overlaps in roles and responsibilities at
national, state and city levels

• LACK OF INTEGRATED CITY-WIDE APPROACH

Sanitation investments do not take into account the full cycle of
safe confinement, treatment and disposal

• LIMITED TECHNOLOGIES
Limited options of technologies and that too not cost-effective and
also non-sustainable investments

• REACHING UN-SERVED AND POOR

No access to affordable sanitation facilities to urban poor and other
residents of informal settlements

• LACK OF DEMAND RESPONSIVENESS

Lack of coordination and balance between supply and demand of
sanitation facilities

 INTRODUCTION TO

NATIONAL WATER POLICY

INTRODUCTION
• National Water Policy is formulated by the Ministry of Water Resources of
the Government of India to govern the planning and development of water resources
and their optimum utilization.

• The first National Water Policy was adopted in September, 1987. It was reviewed and
updated in 2002 and later in 2012.

• Among the major policy innovations in the 2012 policy was the concept of an
Integrated Water Resources Management approach that took the “river basin/ sub-
basin” as a unit for planning, development and management of water resources.

VISION
TO TAKE COGNIZANCE OF THE EXISTING SITUATION, TO PROPOSE A
FRAMEWORK FOR CREATION OF A SYSTEM OF LAWS AND INSTITUTIONS AND
FOR A PLAN OF ACTION WITH A UNIFIED NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE.
CONCERNS

 WATER GOVERNANCE ISSUES NOT ADDRESSED ADEQUATELY

 VARIATION IN WATER AVAILABILITY MAY INCREASE FURTHER DUE TO

CLIMATE CHANGE

 ACCESS TO SAFE WATER FOR DRINKING AND OTHER DOMESTIC NEEDS STILL
CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM IN MANY AREAS

 SKEWED AVAILABILITY OF WATER BETWEEN DIFFERENT REGIONS AND

DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN THE SAME REGION AND ALSO THE UNRELIABLE
WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL OF CAUSING SOCIAL UNREST

 INTER-REGIONAL, INTER-STATE, INTRA-STATE AND ALSO INTER-SECTORAL

DISPUTES IN SHARING OF WATER, STRAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND HAMPER THE
OPTIMAL UTILIZATION OF WATER THROUGH SCIENTIFIC PLANNING ON
BASIN/SUB-BASIN BASIS
KEY FEATURES

 TO ESTABLISH A STANDARD NATIONAL INFORMATION SYSTEM

 TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY BY RESOURCE PLANNING AND RECYCLING

 TO PROVIDE GUIDELINES FOR THE SAFETY OF STORAGE DAMS

 REGULATE THE EXPLOITATION OF GROUND WATER

 TO GIVE IMPORTANCE ON ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN SETTLEMENT

BASIC PRINCIPLES

 THE PRICNCIPLE JUSTICE MUST INFORM THE USE AND ALLOCATION

OF WATER

 A COMMON INTEGRATED PERSPECTIVE SHOULD GOVERN THE

PLANNING AND
MANAGEMENT OF WATER RESOURCES

 FOR THE CONSERVATION, WATER TO BE TREATED AS ECONOMIC ASSET

 RIVER
WATER IS ESSENTIAL FOR BALANCE OF ECO-SYSTEM, AND THEREFORE, MINIMUM
BASIN SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS THE BASIC HYDROLOGICAL
ECOLOGICAL NEEDS SHOULD BE GIVEN DUE CONSIDERATION.
UNIT
 SAFE WATER FOR DRINKING AND SANITATION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS PRIMARY
NEEDS,

 FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRIORITY ALLOCATION FOR OTHER BASIC DOMESTIC NEEDS

(INCLUDING NEEDS OF ANIMALS), ACHIEVING FOOD SECURITY, SUPPORTING
AGRICULTURE AND MINIMUM ECO-SYSTEM NEEDS.

 THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON WATER RESOURCES AVAILABILITY MUST BE

FACTORED INTO WATER MANAGEMENT RELATED DECISIONS.
ROADMAPS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF NATIONAL
WATRE POLICY
• STATES TO REVIEW STATE WATER POLICIES IN LINE WITH NATIONAL
WATER POLICY (2012)

• AMENDMENT OF INTER-STATE WATER DISPUTES ACT 1956 TO

ESTABLISH SINGLE WATER DISPUTE TRIBUNAL WITH MULTIPLE
BENCHES

• SETTING UP OF NATIONAL WATER INFORMATICS

• SETTING UP OF NATIONAL BUREAU OF WATER USE EFFICIENCY

• STATES NEED TO SETUP INDEPENDENT STATUTORY WATER

REGULATORY AUTHORITY FOR ENSURING EQUITABLE ACCESS TO
WATER FOR ALL AND ITS FAIR PRICING
IMPORTANCE OF THIS WATER POLICY

 After 7 seven years of previous updation, there are a lot of changes which need to be addressed and the
prioritization of the water usage needs to be defined.

 Spring sets in Himalayas have been decreasing without any active step by the government.

 Revitalisation of rivers needs to be brought in focus because many of our rivers and rivulets are drying and the
policy parameters need to be set up accordingly.

 Technological innovations like censors, geographic information systems (GIS) and satellite imagery need to be
introduced to modulate the water and track the flow.

 Budgeting needs to be done in a way that it covers all levels from the basin to sub basin.

 NITI Aayog has sensitised in its Composite Water Management Index 2.0, 2018 that water usage in current
times are very high and inefficient.

 The water used in irrigation sector gives the efficiency of 30-38%, the water for drinking water supply and
sanitation in the urban area bears the losses around 40-45%. Villages on the other hand get very less amount
of water so the supply needs to be balanced.

 A unified Ministry of Jal Shakti was launched in May, 2019 as an immediate response to the escalating water
crisis in india.

 Government also talks about Nal Se Jal to provide piped water supply to every household by the year 2024.
RESEARCH AND TRAINING NEEDS

 GRANTS TO STATES TO UPDATE TECHNOLOGY, DESIGN AND PLANNING

 ESTABLISHMENT OF AUTONOMOUS CENTERS FOR CARRYING OUT

RESEARCH WORK ON WATER POLICIES

 PROMOTION OF REGULAR TRAINING AND ACADEMIC COURSES IN WATER

MANAGEMENT

 NATIONAL CAMPAIGNING FOR WATER LITERACY
