About this document
Low-Cost Sanitation for Rural Areas by Ashhad Shafique is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Rural sanitation refers to maintaining sanitary conditions in rural areas that lack piped water and sewer systems. This is due to the high cost of installing such infrastructure for small, scattered populations. Rural sanitation includes collecting and disposing of dry refuse, sullage (waste water), and night soil (human waste) as well as supplying potable water. Low-cost options for waste treatment in rural areas include oxidation ponds, cesspools, and septic tanks.
