Volume of sewage generated each day in the city of Bhopal.

Combined capacity of sewage treatment in Bhopal based on 9 STPs that have been constructed as of Sep 2021. (MLD = million litres a day)

Volume of sewage that cannot be treated in Bhopal due to gap between sewage generated and treatment capacity that has been constructed. In addition, none of the STPs operate at designed capacity, further expanding gap of untreated sewage. The problem is further compounded because the existing sewer pipeline network does not have capacity to carry more than 50 MLD to the various STPs. As a result, remaining sewage gets mixed in other water bodies. (MLD = million litres a day)

Number of places in the city that environmentalists have identified where sewage enters lakes directly as there is no sewage treatment plant in those areas. Upper and Lower Lake, Motia Lake, Siddique Hasan Lake, Munshi Hussain Khan Lake are main water bodies that receive sewage, which remains mostly untreated due to inefficient plants.
