In today's world, engineers and planner are working hard to find the appropriate wastewater treatment technology which is technically feasible, sustainable and along with economical in the long run from available various conventional and advanced treatment technologies. In this study, rapid impact assessment matrix, sustainability analyses and environmental performance index tools used for selection of appropriate the wastewater treatment technology from available activated sludge process, up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor and waste stabilisation pond in India. A questionnaire for the survey consists of physical/chemical, biological/ecological, social/cultural and economical/operational aspects. The survey responses are analysed by rapid impact assessment matrix methods to quantify in terms of an environmental score. Environmental performance index of the options, i.e., activated sludge process, up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor and waste stabilisation pond are 38.775, 94.267 and 27.15, respectively. The analysis results revealed that the up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor is an appropriate and feasible option.

“…A hospital provides treatment facilities to the patient with specialised medical, nursing staff, and equipment and provides healthcare services to people. The exponential growth in urban cities leading to raised pollution levels in the environment is the root cause of illness [ 1 , 2 ]. The pandemic diseases like COVID-19, tuberculosis, or other communicable diseases also accelerated the rate of sickness among people, leading to increased demand for hospitals for well-being.…”

In this study, the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) technique has been used to assess waste management practices of different hospitals in the city of Prayagraj (India). Based on AHP analysis, hospital 3 was ranked as the most promising sustainability hospital with a weight value of 0.2788 with strict abidance to Bio-medical waste management (amendment), 2018 rules and regulations. Regular monitoring is needed to improve the waste management in hospitals substantially, and hospital 6 is ranked lowest among the surveyed hospitals.

“…Upham and Smith (2014) used the RIAM to synthesise biofuel and bioenergy impact assessment with the example of medium scale bioenergy heat options. Rawal et al (2017) used RIAM for analysis the effects of a mass gathering on SWM system in slum areas in all three phases (before, during and after the Mela) of Allahabad city near the river confluence (SANGAM).…”

The selection of landfill sites for disposal of municipal solid waste is an important challenge for the engineering system. In this study, selection procedure of an appropriate landfill site among the four landfill sites for disposal of waste in Allahabad (India) is highlighted. A questionnaire comprising physical/chemical, biological/ecological, social/cultural and economic/operational aspects was prepared. A survey was conducted among the residents near all four landfill sites. The responses were analysed with a rapid impact assessment matrix tool to quantify the intangible effects in terms of environmental score. Environmental performance index (EPI) was also computed for all four sites to intelligibly ascertain the efficacy of each solid waste disposal facility. The results revealed that Ganja landfill site was the best site as compared with the other sites. The EPI of Kareli, Alopibagh, Phaphamau and Ganja sites was -110.315, -123.541, -98.867 and -54.586, respectively.
