Abstract
Sewerage systems in urban area is an important priority in Indian setting because of rapid urbanization, industrialization, and population growth, along with increase in slum population and migration. A recent study shows that urban sanitation can have an impact on diarrheal disease, even without measures to promote hygienic behaviour. In this regard, the presence of efficient drainage and sewerage system is a major factor in the prevention of spread of waterborne diseases in major cities. As per the census 2011, at country level, there is no drainage facility in 48.9% households, while 33% households have only open drainage system. In this review article we have tried to highlight the drainage and sewerage in India, the problems we face and their possible solutions.
