Example of text:
The use of pit latrines is extremely common in rural areas or amongst the poorer segments of society in developing countries. They are principally based on hiding human excreta in deep pits (“drop and store”), as opposed to flushing them away and diluting them in rivers, lakes and the sea (“flush and discharge”). Drop-and-store systems can be simple and relatively low cost but have many drawbacks (see below under “disadvantages”).
Pit latrines are designed for the onsite disposal (but not treatment or reuse) of human excreta, with no or very little water use. They consist of a concrete squatting plate or riser, which is placed over an earthen pit. The design life varies, depending on the number of users (several years to 10 years or more). Often, the pits fill up faster than originally expected.
The pit diameter is between 1 and 1.5 m. The depth of the pit is at least 2 m, but usually more than 3 m. The top (0.5 m of the pit) always requires lining. In loose soil, the entire pit should be lined in order to prevent collapse. The liquid (urine and water content of faeces) is normally designed to be absorbed into the soil (otherwise the pit will fill up faster). One unit can serve one or several households. If constructed properly, pit latrines can be regarded as superior to the other alternative of open defecation.

A conventional pit latrine can be upgraded to a ventilated improved pit (VIP) or a pour-flush latrine. The ventilated improved pit (VIP) latrine has a vent pipe to improve ventilation. These types of latrines are also often designed as a double-vault system, where one vault is left to dry, while the other vault is being filled. The double-vault VIP latrines have some similarities with the dehydrating urine-diversion toilets, except that the urine is not collected and can therefore not be reused. Drying of the faeces is also much less effective.

The pour-flush latrine uses a pour-flush pan instead of a squatting plate with a hole in it. The toilet pan consists of a siphon, which creates a water seal forming an effective barrier against odours and insect nuisance, and prevents excreta from being seen once flushed. Excreta are flushed away with water, which is poured manually into the pan by using a scoop. The amount of water required to flush this type of toilet is between two and three litres.
