The great Indian toilet tracker!
Published on by trecy mondella
Women patiently wait for the sun to go down, to squat in open fields. Young children do so unabashedly on the roads under the open skies. Well into our 67th year of independence, the sanitation situation hasn't changed much in villages and towns across the nation. However, the Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan has set out to do just that. http://www.indiawaterportal.org/articles/toilet-tracker-status-sanitation-rural-india

Not only the approach and the follow-up of the toilets did not evolve but it is in regression complète.on does not know more how to get rid of all this pollution of human origin. the more one supplies out of drinking water of the dwellings more one generates waste waters and less the systems of treatment of purification are able to mitigate these problems. their only solution it is the By-pass which directs all the effluents not trtaities about the natural hydraulioque middle nearest. The waste waters and the cleansing must become the priority of the priorities before the water provision of any habitat. the Biological A.B cleansing suggests a Final comprehensive solution écologqiue economic and especially productive to solve these problems of serious pollution of our environment.

Nice to see that India's putting resources into tracking sanitation more rigorously, but I do hope that they are not going to only use the NBA to detect data distortions in coverage - that's even less helpful than the JMP's improved/unimproved categories for sanitation. Actual toilet usage, life-cycle costs that encompass maintenance/replacement/supporting costs, and OD rates need to be included in order for this program to really make a difference.
