A significant challenge confronting engineers and scientists in developing countries is the search for appropriate solutions to the collection, treatment, and disposal or reuse of domestic waste. Technologies of waste collection and treatment that have been taught to civil engineering students and practiced by professional engineers for decades are, respectively, the water borne sewerage and conventional waste treatment systems such as activated sludge and trickling filter processes. However, the above systems do not appear to be applicable or effective in solving sanitation and water pollution problems in developing countries. Supporting evidence for the above statement is the result of a World Health Organization report which showed that in the year 2000 some 1.1 billion people did not have access to improved water supply, and 2.4 billions were without access to any sort of improved sanitation facility. For both the water supply and sanitation services, the vast majority of those without access are in Asia. Although the percentages of population served with adequate water supply and sanitation increased during the past decade, due to rapid population and urban growth, these percentages for the urban areas are not expected to increase much in the next decade, while a lot of improvement is needed for the rural areas. Sanitation conditions in both urban and rural areas need to be much improved as large percentages of the population still and will lack these facilities. Polprasert cited several reasons for the failure to provide sewerage to the population of the cities of the developing countries. The construction of sewerage systems implies large civil engineering projects with high investment costs. Soil is the most important renewable natural resource. It is the medium of plant growth and supports different types of living organisms on the earth. The soil is a living system. It takes millions of years to form soil upto a few cm in depth. Relief, parent rock or bed rock, climate, vegetation and other forms of life and time are important factors in the formation of soil. Various forces of nature such as change in temperature, actions of running water, wind and glaciers, activities of decomposers etc. contribute to the formation of soil. Chemical and organic changes which take place in the soil are equally important. Soil also consists of organic and inorganic materials. On the basis of the factors responsible for soil formation texture, age, chemical and physical properties, the soils of India are classified in different types
