Abstract

Urbanization in Mumbai Metropolitan Region has resulted in the growth of population, industrial and, commercial units. Municipal corporations are supplying drinking water to population and all other units. Water is used for different purposes and activities. Water related activities generate sewage in metropolitan region. Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai generate highest where as the Mira Bhayander Municipal Corporation generates lowest sewage. All the municipal corporations do not treat entire sewage. The sewage is discharged in rivers and sea. It has severe effect on the health of people and marine resources. The least square regression shows the positive correlation of sewage with population, industrial units and health care institutions. The sewage generation will rise in future because of growth of urbanization and number of units. Therefore Municipal Corporation must increase the sewage treatment capacity and do the budgetary provisions through issue of debt instruments. Environment education, behavioral change among people will help to reduce the sewage generation. Compulsory sewage treatment of Municipal Corporations will improve the health and environment across the region.
