Sewage Management ‘Impending Nuisance’

Rapid urbanization in India—home to approximately 1.464 billion people in 2025—has driven its urban population growth to about 2.26% annually, while roughly 72% of urban sewage remains untreated, severely degrading freshwater ecosystems and threatening the life cycles of aquatic flora and fauna

Untreated sewage accounts for approximately 75% of the surface water contamination in the country.

When sewage enters a lake or stream, microorganisms begin to decompose the organic materials.

This impacts both the ecology and economy, as well as imposing severe health risks.

Sewage-contaminated water causes eutrophication, which is the increase in the concentration of chemical elements required for life, thus decreasing the amount of dissolved oxygen necessary for aquatic life.

Sewage pollution has been attributed to causing gastrointestinal disorders in humans, such as Giardiasis, Amoebic Dysentery, and Cholera.

Moreover, debris associated with sewage hampers the aesthetic value of the environment.

Advanced microbial technology by Organica Biotech provides the ultimate solution to all sewage woes.

Bioclean Septic utilizes robust, enriched, and highly specific microbes that are highly competent at degrading the organic matter entering the septic tank, ultimately contributing to the treatment of sewage.

These microbes help in restoring the biological health of septic tank systems.

Microbes in Bioclean Septic are empowered to maintain the working efficiency of the septic tank, thereby combating common problems such as overflow, backups, seepage of untreated sewage, and foul odour emission.

Microbial technology provides additional benefits, including operational cost savings and enhanced longevity, for septic tanks.

This indirectly lowers the amount of waste being dumped into the sewage system.

According to the 2022 WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme, roughly 71 million Indians (5% of the population) lack access to at least basic drinking water services, while approximately 308 million people (21.6%) lack access to at least basic sanitation facilities.

In the wake of perturbing environmental problems like water scarcity, it is also noteworthy that Bioclean Septic efficiently degrades sewage; thus, water can be recycled effectively.

Thus contributing to a clean and green economy.
