Human waste transfer in harmless shape is a regularly developing issue prompting tasteful disturbance, risk of natural contamination and a few irresistible infections in scourge extents because of defilement of ground water and drinking water assets in exceedingly populated and creating nations, similar to India. Under 30% of Indians approach the toilets. In country ranges around 10% of houses have toilets and rest of the general population go to open poo.

DRDO has culminated an eco-accommodating biodegradation innovation for human waste transfer for military sent at high height areas and ice sheets. The below zero temperature does not permit the normal biodegradation of natural issue prompting gathering of the human waste throughout the years, defiling the ice which is the main wellspring of drinking water and represents an extraordinary wellbeing hazard. Further, softened ice debases the streams and other water sources and at last spreading the tainting downstream. DRDO created Biodigester innovation is natural well disposed, upkeep free and productive without relying upon regular vitality sources. The emanating is scentless and gets freed off the greater part of the pathogens.

Several such biodigesters have been introduced at different areas in J&K, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh. The biodigester innovation has two segments: anaerobic microbial consortium and exceptionally outlined maturation tank. The microbial consortium has been made by acclimatization, improvement and bioaugmentation with the coldactive microscopic organisms gathered from Antarctica and low temperature ranges. It is made out of four bunches of microorganisms having a place with hydrolytic, acidogenic, acetogenic and methenogenic bunches with high effectiveness of biodegradation.Fermentation tank is made of metal/FRP and has the arrangement of immobilizing the microbes in huge numbers.

In this manner, the innovation has been stretched out to Indian Railways for on-board treatment of human waste. Many stainless steel made biodigesters are in operation in various trains of IR. Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Railways, it is wanted to introduce these biodigesters in all trains in the years to come.Lakshadweep organization has requested 12000 biodigesters for all places of its ten islands. Minimal effort single house biodigesters have been intended for rustic division of the nation which is dependable, require little space, create condition well disposed safe emanating and does not require any upkeep. As of late created form of this innovation has been named as "BioTank" that is the incredible minimal effort option of the ordinary septic tanks being as of now utilized by singular houses and groups.
