Abstract

the paper points out rural regions need proper attention at the global level concerning solid waste management
sector where bad practices and public health threats could be avoided through traditional and integrated waste management
routes. Solid waste management in rural areas is a key issue for developing and transitioning countries like India, due to the
lack of proper waste management facilities and services. In order to manage waste in a desirable way, there should be a
functional waste management system in place. This paper shows solid waste management, liquid waste management and
rainwater harvesting methods at Vadaj village, Dabhoi in India. Presently the wastes are disposed in an uncontrolled
manner which may cause adverse impact on public health & environment. In Vadaj village solid and liquid wastes amount
