Abstract
An appropriate techno-commercial framework is a prerequisite for sustainable sanitation solutions in urban centers. The first step toward developing such a framework is to have an assessment of provisioning sanitation systems in economic sense. The present study aims at estimating the per capita expenditure on sewerage system. The energy consumption and footprint are also important along with expenditure incurred and hence are also estimated separately. Results indicate that footprint for sewage treatment is approximately 0.1 m2 per person which is one tenth of the size of the toilet. The energy consumption in sewage pumping and treatment ranges from 0.03 to 0.1 KW-h (kilowatt-hour) which is equivalent to lighting 30 to 100 watt bulb for 1 h. The total per capita expenditure in availing sewerage infrastructure is estimated to be in the range INR (Indian Rupee Rates) 1.8–10.8 with an average of INR 3.93 and standard deviation 1.4. The higher values correspond to towns with very low population density, and the lower values correspond to very high population densities.
