The total sewage generation for the state of Rajasthan is 2736 MLD against the treatment capacity of 865.92 MLD.

As  per  the  available  information  from  the  23  states/UTs,  the  quantity  of  solid  waste generated is approximately 97170.90 tons per day, while approximately 19306.5 tons of solid waste  is  being  treated  per  day  in  these  states.
