STUDY OF CHARACTERISTICS OF RAW FAECAL SLUDGE (RFS), SUPERNATANT, THICKEND FAECAL SLUDGE (TFS) AND EFFLUENT FROM SLUDGE DRYING BED

Faecal sludge management (FSM) has become a global problem due to rapid urbanization and population growth with unplanned settlements. The majority of the population rely on onsite sanitation in these urbanized areas in developing nation. Improper disposal of FS is causing environmental degradation and contamination of water bodies, hence threatening public health. The proper disposal of FS can only be done when it is treated effectively.
