8.2 Conclusion
There are certain points that need to be appreciated to conclude the study. The future
wars are going to be three-dimensional, and ecology has given indicators in many
facets. War what we anticipate would not be a WW III rather a war of water.
Since academicians do not take researches on social issues, in general, it is strongly
recommended to educate people by launching campaigns and also cover solid waste
management, as well as liquid management, to protect the environment. The best and
most appropriate tool to be applied is 3 Rs, and Indore model is the most practical
one, at least for class II and III cities of India.
8.3 Suggested Low-Cost MSWM and Involvement of All
Stakeholders
Implementation of low-cost MSWM system with lower subsidies, greater household
involvement, range of technology choices, options for sanitary complexes for women,
rural drainage systems, IEC and awareness building, involvement of NGOs and local
groups, availability of finance, human resource development, and emphasis on school
MSWM are the important areas to be considered. Concerns like, appropriate forms
of private participation and public private partnerships (PPP), evolution of a sound
sector policy in Indian context, and emphasis on sustainability with political commitment are very important prerequisites to bring the change in waste management
and sanitation.
8.4 Summary of Suggestions
The literature reviewed highlighted several critical aspects of a sustainable MSWMS
program that need further study and implementation with rigorous follow-up:
(a) The term MSWMS is to be used as panacea for clean and healthy society;
(b) Sanitation must be addressed together with hygiene and water to fully stop
disease transmission;
(c) Success depends on responding to consumer demand;
(d) Educating consumers on sanitation and hygiene practices is essential;
(e) Teachers at primary and secondary school education level are to be involved,
and this aspect is to be introduced in the academic curriculum;
(f) Women are to be involved at every level of the process and form the backbone
of waste segregation at household level;
