Fecal Sludge Management
Fecal sludge management involves the safe collection, transport, treatment, and disposal or reuse of waste material from toilets and sanitation systems. It ensures that human waste is handled properly to prevent environmental pollution and protect public health. This process includes emptying septic tanks or pits, transporting the sludge to treatment facilities, and processing it to reduce harmful pathogens. Effective management reduces the risk of waterborne diseases, odors, and environmental contamination, helping communities maintain clean and healthy living environments while promoting sustainable sanitation practices.
