WATER AND SANITATION
UPGRADATION WORK BEGUN AT RASOOLPURA SLUM IN HYDERABAD
An MJCET EWB Chapter team in collaboration with EWB Karlsruhe University, Germany and the NGO’s,
BHUMI and CAPNET, has begun
putting in place the first phase of water and sanitation upgradation work in Rasoolpura
– a vast urban slum in Hyderabad. The plan involves constructing
a number of “ecosan” waterless
toilets, solid waste management and a rainwater collection system. This
is partly a follow-up of the Mondialogo
