Title
Sanitation for a Healthy Nation: Sanitation Technology Options
Abstract
The full range of technical options for providing adequate basic sanitation is still not widely understood. In particular, there
is little appreciation of the long-term financial implications of operating the various sanitation systems. As a result, communities
and local governments are currently choosing technical options that, in the long term, are unaffordable and unsustainable.
Complications arise from the wide range of options available and the differing environments in which they must be
implemented. Experience shows that it is important to allow local solutions to be developed. The options include the
ventilated improved pit toilet in all its variations, composting toilets and on-site wet systems such as septic tanks, and full
water borne systems.
