faecal sludge management

Faecal sludge management involves collecting, treating, and safely disposing of waste from toilets and septic tanks. It aims to prevent environmental contamination and protect public health by ensuring that waste is properly handled, transported, and treated. This process includes extracting sludge from onsite systems, transportation to treatment facilities, and processing it to reduce harmful pathogens and pollutants before safe disposal or reuse. Effective management reduces disease risk, improves sanitation, and supports sustainable water and resource management in communities.
