National urban sanitation policy 2008 [1]

Sanitation is defined as safe management of human excreta, including its safe confinement treatment, disposal and associated hygiene-related practices. While this policy pertains to management of human excreta and associated public health and
environmental impacts, it is recognized that integral solutions need to take account of other elements of environmental sanitation, i.e. solid waste management; generation
of industrial and other specialized / hazardous wastes; drainage; as also the management of drinking water supply.
