Black water contains pathogens (of faeces) and nutrients (of urine) that are diluted in the flush water. Desludging: The operation, performed by a licenced operator or trained sanitary workers, of removing FSS from onsite sanitation system (OSS). Disposal: Transportation and discharge or transfer of FSS to notified locations. Effluent: The supernatant (liquid) discharged from an OSS. The liquid separated out from the septage is also referred to as effluent. Faecal sludge: The settled contents of onsite sanitation systems. The characteristics of faecal sludge can differ widely from household to household, city to city, and country to country. The physical, chemical and biological qualities of faecal sludge are influenced by the duration of storage, temperature, soil conditions, intrusion of groundwater or surface water into onsite sanitation systems, desludging technology and pattern. #Water Smart Solution Final Reports by Cohort 2.0 of C4Y -IWP Water Champions Youth Fellowship Programme 2020 3 Greywater: The total volume of water generated from washing food, clothes and dishware, as well as from bathing, but not from toilets. It may contain traces of excreta and, therefore, also pathogens. Insanitary latrines: A latrine which requires human excreta to be cleaned or otherwise handled manually, either in situ, or in an open drain or pit into which the excreta is discharged or flushed out, before the excreta fully decomposes in such manner as may be prescribed. Provided that a water flush latrine, when cleaned by an emptier with the help of such devices and using such protective gear as notified in relevant guidelines is not to be deemed an insanitary latrine. Leach pit or soak pit: An underground pit that is used where there is no sewer and household wastewater is drained into them to permit leaching of the liquid into the surrounding soil. Night soil: Human excreta, with or without anal cleansing material, deposited into a bucket or other receptacle for manual removal. Pit latrine: A form of on-site sanitation with one or two pits for accumulation and decomposition of excreta from which liquid infiltrates into the surrounding soil. Sanitary latrine: A latrine which is not an insanitary latrine. Scum: Extraneous or impure matter like oil, hair, grease and other light material that floats on the surface of a liquid in septic tanks. Septage: The faecal sludge desludged from a well-designed septic tank. Septic tank: A water-tight, onsite treatment system of domestic sewage, single-storied tank in which sanitary flow is retained long enough to permit sedimentation and digestion. Sewage: Wastewater transported through sewers. Sewers: Underground pipelines provided for the purposes of carrying liquid waste (wastewater) of a community. Transportation: Safe transfer of FSS through CNPP-registered vacuum tanker from the place of desludging to the notified location. Treatment: Any scientific method or process designed to alter the physical, chemical or biological and radiological character or composition of FSS, sewage and wastewater to reduce or prevent pollution. Vacuum tanker: It is a vehicle that has a pump and a tank, designed to pneumatically suck FSS from the OSS. These vehicles are also used to transport desludged FSS. Wastewater: Liquid effluent from domestic or commercial human activity including effluent from toilets, kitchen and cleaning activity, which does not include effluent from manufacturing and industrial activity. Usually such effluent flows through stormwater drains, thus it includes stormwater as well. #Water Smart Solution Final Reports by Cohort 2.0 of C4Y -IWP Water Champions Youth Fellowship Programme 2020 4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Although sanitation legislation and regulations are available, enforcement is lacking. Wastewater is most often discharged into the environment directly, or through the open drainage system with practically no treatment processes in place. Until now no proper and satisfactory solution for wastewater management has been developed in Lakhimpur city of Uttar Pradesh. While most individual or shared toilets are connected to septic tanks, their disposal or outlets
