The scheme has developed strategic components to ensure coverage of sanitation facilities through financial and programmatic support for households, and for institutional and community sanitation. Construction of toilets needs to be complemented with mechanisms of waste handling to ensure a safe and hygienic environment in the rural areas. Safe disposal of solid and liquid waste is a major step on the sanitation ladder where communities have begun to successfully tackle. Government at present has specific provision for solid and liquid waste management (SLWM) as an important component under TSC. The Ministry of Drinking Water and Sanitation has been continuously updating technical notes on rural sanitation to reinforce the quality of interventions. The Hand Book on scaling up solid and liquid waste management in rural areas gives a very useful insight on the planning, construction, operation and maintenance of SLWM units in a sustainable way. The effort has been to make a comprehensive document that is user friendly for planning and executing agencies.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOSANITATIONWASTEAGRICULTURAL WASTEPLASTICMANURECOMMUNITY SANITATIONSOLID WASTE COMPOSTINGCOMPOSTINGORGANIC MATTERWASTE MANAGEMENT PRACTICESGARBAGEDRAINAGE CHANNELBIODEGRADABLE WASTEWASTE GENERATIONWASTE MANAGEMENTBONESWATER SUPPLYPLASTICSBIOGASWORMSCOMPOSTFECESHUMAN WASTE MANAGEMENTDISPOSAL SYSTEMSWASTE HANDLINGHOSPITAL WASTEWASTESODORSWASTE MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIESPATHOGENSBIOLOGICAL PROCESSESCENTRALIZED COMPOSTINGPVCLIQUID WASTE MANAGEMENTEXPLOSIVESRECYCLABLE WASTEDISPOSALFILTRATIONSOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PROJECTSOLID WASTE RECYCLINGANIMAL WASTECONSTRUCTIONVERMICOMPOSTINGWATERSITECOMMERCIAL WASTEDRAINAGEDUMPSGARDENSBIODEGRADABLE MATERIALTOILETSTOXIC WASTEEXCRETAHUMAN FECAL MATTERWASTE • SEGREGATIONWASTEWATERLOCATIONWASTE PAPERWASTE WATERBATHROOMSLEADHEATTREATED WASTEWATERURINERADIOACTIVE WASTEORGANIC WASTEVEGETABLE WASTERURAL SANITATIONSOLID WASTETANKSTABILIZATIONSANITATION PROGRAMSOLID WASTESHUMAN WASTEDRAINSSANITATION SECTORBIOGAS PLANTSOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTGARDEN WASTEWASTE DISPOSALHOUSEHOLD WASTESULLAGEPAPERGREASEWASTE MANAGEMENT OPERATIONSIRRIGATIONGLASSPERCOLATEMUNICIPAL WASTEPONDSITESPOOR WASTE MANAGEMENTCOMPOSTING PROCESSRECYCLINGSANITATION COVERAGEHUMAN EXCRETAPIPESDEMOLITION WASTEWASTE RECYCLINGLIQUID WASTEDISPOSAL OF WASTESEWERAGEWASTE MANAGEMENT FACILITIESSANITATION FACILITIESWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/23846
