The Hidden River Beneath Our Feet: Kerala’s Septage Challenge

Every day, Kerala generates over 105 crore liters of toilet wastewater -most of it flowing unseen beneath our feet. With over 90% of households using septic tanks or pits, untreated septage often leaks into the soil and contaminates groundwater.

Neglected tanks can lead to high BOD/COD levels, foul smells, mosquito breeding, and waterborne diseases. Regulations like IS 2470, CPHEEO guidelines, and NGT orders make regular desludging mandatory, but compliance remains low.

Bhouma Envirotech’s Mobile Septage Treatment Units (MTUs) are designed to solve this gap. They desludge, treat, and safely dispose of wastewater – without transporting untreated sewage to open drains or dumping grounds.

By adopting timely desludging, communities protect their health, comply with the law, and prevent contamination of Kerala’s rivers and wells.
Safe water starts underground – let’s protect it.
