Wastewater-based epidemiological surveillance (WBE) showed the potential to become a pivotal public health tool for measuring community disease burden during COVID-19 pandemic. Many countries used WBE as part of their national inform on optimal deployment measures. In India, civil society groups, research institutions, and private companies across various urban areas also demonstrated utility in assessing burden. While European Union has recently begun craft policies integration into global network, many (including India) do not have policy enable such integration. This paper argues wastewater system covering community-level assessment threats, along with data from marginalised populations, promote equity facilitate OneHealth-based thinking emergence spread. The outlines efforts around world, highlights its advantages cost-effective supplement rather than supplant existing frameworks, makes case implementation recommendations next steps towards implementation. effective use should help India identify emerging prepare future infectious outbreaks, allocate resources according population requirements.
