Well-being and Wetlands - The Statesman

An earlier e-mail with an attachment from an American friend popped up suddenly. His water and sewerage bill would cost him $900 a year after a discount from January 2024, up from about $676 just six months ago, a neat Rs 20,000 jump in Indian terms. He would have to pay about Rs 75,000, up from around Rs 55,000.

Soil safely filters 38 million tonnes of human waste each year

Sean Sprague/Alamy
Nature sanitises around 38 million tonnes of human waste per year – the equivalent of around £3.2-billion-worth of commercial water treatment.
Alison Parker at Cranfield University in the UK and colleagues looked at 48 cities in Africa, Asia, North America and South America. They analysed how much human waste is produced and where it ends up by reviewing existing data from interviews, observations and direct field measurements.
