Abstract
Urban wastewater bodies remain a significant environmental concern in
rapidly growing Indian cities, where nearby residential areas often experience
degraded living conditions and sanitation stress. This study examines
environmental quality in an urban residential cluster adjacent to a wastewater
body in Sardarshahar, Rajasthan, using a structured questionnaire survey.
Residents evaluated air quality, road quality, drainage system efficiency and
water quality across four distance bands from the wastewater source: <100 m,
100–200 m, 200–300 m, and >300 m. The results indicate that environmental
quality worsens closer to the wastewater body, especially in terms of drainage
and air quality and improves with increasing distance. These findings support
the need for stronger sanitation planning and local environmental monitoring to
reduce public health risks.
