The sanitation problem is not just about eliminating the need for open defecation by providing infrastructure and instilling durable behaviour change, but also ensuring safe containment in toilets, regular cleaning and proper conveyance of wastes from septic tanks, and treatment leading to disposal or safe re-use.
Studies have shown that many a time, septic tanks are not constructed properly and hence, do not function as safe containment and preliminary treatment structures. Consequently, training programmes were organised to reorient the masons to construct proper septic tanks and twin pits that perform according to design, and are not prone to exfiltration and leakages.
