Wastewater Management and Sanitation is crucial to the new Myanmar. In the absence of a working sewerage system, the drainage system acts as a de facto open sewer. Raw sewage and septic tank effluent flow through the roadside drains creates direct public health risk, with stagnant wastewater serving as breeding places for mosquitoes and other sources of disease.

Yangon’s existing sewerage system was built back in 1888, to serve for only 40,000 people but now, it is servicing more than 300,000 people. The sewerage system is serving for more than what it is capable of and this is an issue that should not be looked at lightly.

Recently, over 90 factories in the Mandalay Industrial Zone in Pyigyidagun Township have been dumping wastewater into the Dunawadi River and causing health problems to the villagers. The only solution to this problem is to implement modern wastewater treatment plant but that will not be completed in the nearest future.
