title: The importance of toilet facilities and their proper use by the population of Melut, South Sudan.
abstract: Particularly in recent years one has recognized the great importance of hygienic removal of faeces in the prophylaxis of intestinal infectious diseases and parasitosis. Numerous models have been carried out in various areas and the World Bank has financed its own projects for this purpose. The models however, had to be suited to each country and district and also the living habits and conditions of the ground-water etc. The often desired water flushing toilets (or even chemical camping toilets) from certain people in the developing countries are at present to be carefully considered due to the insoluble drainage and fresh water problems.
