About This Book
A practical, non-technical handbook for improving public health in provincial bazaar markets, presenting guidance on surface and storm-water drainage, water supply, road making, and building construction alongside latrines, urinals, night-soil collection and disposal, refuse management, and a biological sewage system. It stresses shallow, self-cleansing drains, prompt removal of waste to limit odors and fly-borne disease, and economical construction and maintenance techniques. Chapters supply operational advice, construction details, and model rules, forms, and specifications to help local authorities and sanitary officers plan, execute, and sustain effective, low-cost sanitation measures.
