Mechanisation, Sewage, Manual scavenging, Mechanical equipments.

Traditionally, manual scavenging of sewage is practiced in urban areas of India, in which people enter manholes and clean out scales and clogs manually with no technical equipment. This practice besides being unhygienic and a health hazard often resulted in fatal accidents. It should be forbidden for sewer workers to enter sewerage systems to remove blocks except in unusual circumstances such as the exclusion of manhole doors which gets damaged due to the heavy vehicular traffic and often falls inside the manhole causing obstruction or blocks in the sewer where mechanical equipments cannot be put into operation, for the purpose of interlinking sewer mains that have been laid and those that already exist, for the removal of submersible pump sets fixed at the bottom of the suction wells which goes out of order and for the reconstruction of manhole or rectification of the sewer main due to any damage caused by sinking of manhole or sewer line.It might endanger the lives of humans and therefore, mechanisation for the replacement of human intervention with sewage cleaning is essential.The advances in mechanisation, in the past two to three decades, have enabled machineries and mechanical equipments for solving many practical problems people face every day.The present paper analyses about the mechanisation of manual scavenging and the mechanical equipments in the present scenarioof the sanitation work.
