SFD (Lite) Report - Beanibazar Municipality CWIS-FSM Support Cell, DPHE (2023)
Beanibazar Municipality is a municipality in the Beanibazar Sub-District (Upazila), which is situated in Sylhet District (Zila) under Sylhet Division. The geographical coordinates of Beanibazar are 24°49′30″ N and 92°09′45″ E. Beanibazar Municipality is situated in the Beanibazar District. It is bordered on the north by Kanaighat and Zakiganj Upazilas, on the south by Barlekha, on the east by Assam (India), and on the west by Golapganj Upazila.
According to the population census in 2011 by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), the population of Beanibazar Municipality was 42,030. The urban population growth in Beanibazar is 1.32% per year. Considering 10% floating population, such as farmers and traders coming to the city every day, the present (2023) population is estimated to be around 54,112 (Table 1). The household survey results show that majority of the occupation is business (34%), followed by private service (21%), self-employment (11%) and agriculture (8%).
The outcome of the SFD graphic shows that only fifteen percent (15%) of the excreta flow is classified as safely managed, and the remaining eighty five percent (85%) is classified as unsafely managed. The unsafely managed excreta originate from wastewater not delivered to treatment (2%), Faecal Sludge (FS) both contained and not contained- not delivered to treatment (65%), FS not contained not emptied (16%) and 3% of supernatant not delivered to treatment. The safely managed excreta originate from FS contained- not emptied (15%). However, the safely managed FS generated by this 15% of the population is temporary, since FS from onsite sanitation systems will require emptying services in the short and medium term as they fill up. This proportion of safely managed FS will soon become unsafely managed once the containments start filling up.
