Tackling Rural Sanitation Challenges
Pit latrines are widely used to provide sanitation in rural areas, offering an essential solution where conventional sewage systems are unavailable. However, they can also pose a range of challenges, including:
Overfilling of Pit latrines, necessitating emptying or replacement.
Groundwater Contamination posing environmental risks
Flies and Odour from poorly maintained pit latrines
Without proper care, pit latrines can become unsanitary and unhygienic
Spread of Diseases by Inadequate waste management
