- Simple Pit latrines: The simple pit latrine consists of hole
in the ground covered by a squatting slab or seat where
the user defecates. The superstructure design is irrelevant
to the operation of the latrine but crucial to the acceptability
of the latrine to the user. The cover slab should be raised
at least 150 mm above the surrounding ground to divert
surface water away from the pit. For detail section of this
see figure 11.11
