Abstract:
Our study results have established that from the social as well as commercial point of view, wastewater treatment project is not economically and commercially feasible in Ujjain because of the proportion owing to the low acceptable level of net present values and benefit cost ratio on different counts. Even the various alternatives worked under this study have not proved the system viable.
In order to make the system feasible either the efficiency of the system has to be increased by improved technology or with the same technology to plan plant in the wastewater disposal site at Sadawal so that the cost of project can be reduced. The Government should carefully examine the technical and social viabilities oefore setting any other plant in the city or nearby. The planner should carefully examine the socioeconomic factor associated with wastewater treatment.
Study reveals that there is a need to create awareness among the citizens and PH E officers about the environmental dimensions of the wastewater and the groundwater handling in the community. It is one of the most challenging tasks of the millennium to prevent the environmental disaster and subsequent health hazards. It is also true that sustainable approach of development depends on environmental and ecological tolerance, social acceptance and economic viability of any waste to energy project and other forms of wastewater management. Study suggest that municipal authorities, MoEF, PHE department, private enterprise, recycle traders, NGO's, ICPC and residents must be involved in the management and disposal of wastewater. There should be a common platform were they meet discuss and share information it achieve a common goal that is green Ujjain city.
