Description
Solid waste management is a major challenge in many developing nations due to grow-
ing waste production, high management costs that pressure local budgets, and a lack of
knowledge about the links and factors influencing the several stages of waste manage-
ment systems. Among the primary issues is Open Defecation (OD). The Indian govern-
ment established the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) to eradicate it. This study examines
how population growth, expenditure, and toilet construction contribute to creating Open
Defecation Free (ODF) cities, a significant mission component. Using deterministic and
fractional modeling approaches, this work offers a comprehensive analysis. Our models
are validated by the fractional and deterministic systems’ mathematical well-posedness.
Numerical simulations demonstrate how the model matches the actual data and forecasts
the values of the key variables. When these crucial components are understood and ob-
jectively analyzed, most cities can better accomplish the mission’s primary goal, the ODF
city. Additionally, the current study can contribute to the attainment of the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) of ”Clean water and sanitation” and ”Good health and well-
being.”
