TL;DRAbstract

This manual has been prepared for agencies, contractors and individuals involved in various aspects of the low-cost pour flush waterseal latrine program in India.

The manual provides the salient features of design, construction and maintenance as well as the administration of low-cost pour-flush waterseal latrines with off-set twin pits. It contains extensive drawings, tables of quantities of materials for different designs as well as standard forms for by-laws and for general project administration and supervision.
