This Project focuses on evaluating on-site versus off-site sanitation systems in the peri-urban areas of Rajkot, India. Amidst rapid urbanization and strained infrastructure, the study aims to address critical sanitation challenges by analyzing the feasibility of decentralized (on-site) and centralized (off-site) solutions. Cluster-based assessments and cost-effective methodologies are employed, considering environmental impacts, scalability, and local contexts. Solutions like Faecal Sludge and Septage Management (FSSM) and Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems (DEWATS) are proposed. The project integrates technical, financial, and institutional frameworks to ensure sustainable sanitation, enhancing public health and environmental outcomes in Rajkot's expanding outskirts.
