Manorama Kumari Talla, Prof I. V. Murali Krishna

Abstract :

The aim of this study is to find out the sustainability scenario of solid waste management with respect to the rising population in the city of Hyderabad. The use of Geographical Information System (GIS) in classifying the city into sustainability classes based on the grouping of different circles and municipal wards based on the per capita waste generated by each. It is generally found out that a bigger percentage of the municipal wards are low in sustainable waste management. A considerably significant number of the wards were rated �very good� in sustainable waste management. By this a proper and sustainable waste management can be achieved through proper collection, transportation and disposal of wastes.
