Author : Dr. B Amarender Reddy
Abstract :
Waste management in India has a long way to go. Sustainable waste management can be attained only through the establishment of appropriate channels for the collection, transportation, and disposal of waste. The aim of this study is to describe the sources of solid waste generation in Hyderabad and analyse the solid waste management infrastructure of GHMC and its ability to meet future growth and also to find out the sustainability scenario with respect to rising population in the city. The paper explores various opportunities and challenges by conducting survey on random basis among various stakeholders in solid waste management in the city. In our study, we brought out the various SWM measures taken up by the government of Telangana vis-à-vis SWM of Hyderabad such as a public-private partnership in SWM collection, new methods, techniques, and modernization of SWM infrastructure carried out to meet the SWM needs of Hyderabad.
