SDG 9
Presented By:
GROUP 1
 Sustainable Development Goal 9

SDG 9 seeks to strengthen infrastructure,

promote sustainable and inclusive
industrial growth, and drive innovation. It
emphasizes building reliable systems,
advancing technology, and improving
access to resources and markets to
create jobs, support economies, and
foster equitable progress worldwide.
Environmental Protection
1. Containment of contaminants—Ensuring that sewage,
wastewater, and industrial byproducts are properly collected and
treated to prevent harmful substances from entering the
environment.

Industrial Waste Management

Clean Technologies
Sustainable Infrastructure
2. Minimizing soil erosion—Designing and maintaining sanitary
infrastructure (e.g., drainage systems, sewer lines) in ways that prevent
soil degradation, especially in flood-prone or construction-heavy areas.

Planting grass or trees

– Roots hold the soil together so it won’t be washed away by rain or blown
by wind.

Building proper drainage

– Making canals or pipes so rainwater flows safely without washing away

the soil.

Avoiding too much digging

–Reducing unnecessary digging during construction so the soil stays firm.

Environmental Protection
3. Maintaining groundwater quality —Implementing waste
treatment facilities and safe disposal systems to avoid
leachates and seeping that could contaminate aquifers
and drinking water sources.

Proper Septic Tank Design and Maintenance— Ensuring

septic tanks are well-built, regularly desludged, and
located far from wells to prevent leakage of untreated
wastewater into the ground.

Monitoring Wells —Install observation wells near waste

disposal or industrial zones to detect early signs of
seepage and contamination.
Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs)—Using
centralized or decentralized sewage treatment systems
to filter, disinfect, and safely release water back into the
environment.
 SOIL MECHANICS
1. Definition of Soil Mechanics:
A branch of civil engineering that studies the physical and
mechanical properties of soil
Explains how soil behaves under different conditions (dry,
wet, loaded, etc.)

APPLICATION IN SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) focuses on

SANITARY ENGINEERING building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and

sustainable industrialization, and fostering innovation.

At first glance, sanitary engineering (which deals with

water supply, sewage, waste management, and public
health protection) seems more linked to SDG 6 (Clean
Water and Sanitation). But it also plays an important role in
SDG 9:

Applications of Sanitary Engineering in SDG 9

1. Sustainable Infrastructure Development

Designing and constructing wastewater treatment

plants, drainage systems, and solid waste facilities
contributes to resilient public infrastructure.

Example: Sewage systems built to withstand floods help

cities adapt to climate change and avoid industrial
disruptions.
 2. Support for Industrial Growth
APPLICATION IN
Sanitary engineers help industries manage waste
SANITARY ENGINEERING and wastewater safely, preventing pollution and ensuring
compliance with environmental standards.

Cleaner production technologies reduce treatment

costs and promote eco-friendly industrialization.

[Link] in Waste Management

Conversion of waste into energy (biogas, refuse-

derived fuel) is both an engineering innovation and a way
to power industries sustainably.

Advanced treatment methods (e.g., membrane

filtration, constructed wetlands) are innovations that
improve infrastructure efficiency.

4. Public Health and Productivity

Safe sanitary infrastructure reduces disease

outbreaks, ensuring a healthier workforce, which is
essential for sustainable industrial productivity.

waste. Efficient resource management
supports circular economy approaches
where outputs can be reused as inputs.

5 Innovation & Technology Advancement

Encouraging research, innovation, and digital
transformation is key to sustainable growth. New
technologies can improve productivity while reducing
environmental and social impacts.
