Recommendations to MoEFCC on Draft Liquid Waste Management Rules
The Draft Liquid Waste Management (LWM) Rules 2024, launched by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), present a landmark opportunity to transform India's sanitation and environmental governance.
The NFSSM Alliance and ClimateRISE Alliance welcome this initiative to institutionalise sustainable liquid waste management and have jointly shared recommendations to the Ministry to enable seamless implementation.
Recognising them as a significant step towards advancing used/waste water treatment, reuse, and septage management in line with SDGs 6.2 and 6.3, our recommendations draw on field expertise to strengthen implementation through clear standards, robust compliance, sustainable financing, and climate adaptation - creating an enabling framework that safeguards public health, drives environmental sustainability, and advances India’s inclusive sanitation and climate goals.
