** Waste disposal and sewage treatment plants are missing in most Indian cities
** 30 per cent of the households have no toilets, the coverage of the sewage network is merely 12 per cent while the treatment of sewage is even lower at 3 per cent
** Solid waste management services cover only 35 per cent of the households while less than ten per cent of the waste is disposed scientifically
** Most of the untreated sewage is discharged into rivers, ponds or lakes, which is the main source of municipal water
