The current government of India program encouraging toilet facility in villages as well as schools will have a considerable importance with respect to water resource development and pseudo urbanization in rural areas of India. The “sulab shuachalay” has given different design of soak pits for rural masses in India. These soak pits have been copied by ordinary masons without following the proper standards like dimensions, amount of sewage water, inlet and its outlet, structures and disposal of discharge water has created the water quality issues. For this purpose, the tarai region area within India is selected due to the availability of required data set for this study. This region is identified with potential exposure of water contamination and is found vulnerable with respect to water pollution due to wrong design of soak pits. As a result, the nitrogen content in ground water have increased enormously and has resulted on the health issues like ulcer and cancer in the human bodies. The present study deals with the impact assessment of pseudo urbanization on the human health and its remediation using non-conventional technique like root zone system which also improves the esthetics of the surrounding areas within the settlements and villages of Terai region areas. On an average, it is expected that around 34-40 crore people are affected by this kind of soak-pit design effecting the lifestyle and health of residing populations in Terai region of India. Therefore, this subject area requires immediate remediation to reduce its impact over the ground water quality which is the main source of drinking water in this region.
