In emergencies, sanitation infrastructure in camps are often constructed overlooking the long-term needs such as safe containment and disposal of fecal matter. Commonly used pit latrine systems in densely populated camps expose fresh fecal sludge to the ground and pollute the environment and needs continuous desludging which causes high costs. Other conventional systems require high level of resources, time and skilled manpower which is not appropriate for rapid on-set of emergencies.
