Download Executive Summary of Detailed Feasibility Study

Performance Assessment system (PAS) Project, CEPT University has collaborated with the Consortium for DEWATS Dissemination (CDD) Society to prepare a plan for appropriate wastewater treatment facilities in 4 selected clusters of the town of Ambajogai in Maharashtra. For this town, CEPT has earlier prepared a City Sanitation Plan (CSP) adopting its ‘Framework for Citywide Sanitation Assessment’ as an approach. The project was conducted in partnership with the Water Supply and Sanitation Department (WSSD), Government of Maharashtra and Maharashtra Jeevan Pradhikaran (MJP).  This study embraces the emphasis laid by the National Urban Sanitation Policy on adopting alternative approaches for addressing sanitation needs. It is a unique endeavor in that it studies the feasibility of integrating conventional and non-conventional approaches for implementing a wastewater management system within a town. The study paradigm is a departure from the traditional approach of meeting wastewater management needs through implementation of conventional drainage systems and establishing centralized treatment
plants. Instead alternative low cost solutions for wastewater management are conceptualized by taking into account the Physiographic profile of the un-served clusters in the town.
