WaterAid | Mapping waste

In Faisalabad, accurate mapping is helping to identify and improve the city's sanitation needs.

It has been difficult to target sanitation interventions in the city of Faisalabad because there have been no accurate maps available. When WaterAid supported a community in the Shamsabad area to begin a programme of self reliance and build their own facilities, the community started by lobbying local government to draft accurate maps of the area.

With the help of accurate sanitation mapping the community can identify where to lay pipes to take the dangerous waste, that currently collects in the neighbourhood, to the nearest municipal sewer.
