Abstract

Sulabh Shauchalaya, a local terminology for affordable toilets, is a significant contribution of a non-government organization. This organization has, realizing that the sanitation and drainage problem is the single most important factor affecting the urban and rural settlements of India's environment, has developed a package technology. The package is very attractive to planners not only because it comes in as a handy low-cost solution to the most serious problems of the built environment but also has with it a post-installation management package to run and maintain such facilities by the users, by mobilizing their voluntary participation. Many developing countries would immensely benefit from such packages where similar problems exist. (Ed.)
