PY - 2017 DA - 2017/05/25 TI - Advantages and limitations for users of double pit pour-flush latrines: a qualitative study in rural Bangladesh JO - BMC Public Health SP - 515 VL - 17 IS - 1 AB - In rural Bangladesh, India and elsewhere, pour-flush pit latrines are the most common sanitation system. When a single pit latrine becomes full, users must empty it themselves and risk exposure to fresh feces, pay an emptying service to remove pit contents or build a new latrine. Double pit pour-flush latrines may serve as a long-term sanitation option including high water table areas because the pits do not need to be emptied immediately and the excreta decomposes into reusable soil.
