Abstract: Threats to groundwater quality from on-site sanitation can be mitigated through technology design. Innovative Technologies like Dewats systems, Ecosan, E-toilets, Bio-toilets are implemented by Government and various NGO in peri urban areas and slum areas of urban areas. Most of the sanitation programmers have failed due to lack of appropriate social mechanism. In the present study two sites with Dewats onsite system in the Peri urban area in Bangalore are selected to compare sustainability, affordable and culturally acceptability to poor populations in low-income countries. The study found that at both places systems are working satisfactorily for treatment of Domestic waste water. The local community people had socially accepted Dewats system.
