A simple improvement in sanitation, as another study points out, can “decrease the rate of waterborne diseases like diarrhoea in the order of 25 per cent.” In all fairness to the government, investments on improving sanitation are periodically increased and programmes such as total sanitation campaign have been launched. Ballpark estimates suggest that Indian cities can treat only about 18 per cent of the 33,200 million litres of sewage produced daily. Conventional flush and discharge toilets use about 15,000 litres of clean water to flush 400-500 litres of urine and 50 litres of faeces per capita annually.
