The Dasherkandi Sewage Treatment Plant, South Asia's largest, is a major project funded by China and operated by Dhaka WASA. Located near Aftabnagar in Dhaka, the facility processes 500 million liters of polluted water daily, aiming to enhance the water quality of Hatirjhil and Balu River. This plant connects to a vast drainage network encompassing various Dhaka neighborhoods including Tejgaon, Gulshan, Banani, and parts of Dhanmondi and Gulistan, ultimately treating 20% of Dhaka's sewage. Advanced automated systems at the plant convert sewage into fly-ash.
